It’s an undertaking for any tenant to scout out prospective commercial space, negotiate a lease, and then deal with the logistics and expense of moving into that space. So, after going through all of the effort to get established at a property, it’s not unusual for a big tenant that’s leasing an entire building to ask for a “right of first refusal”—that is, a right to buy the space if and when a third party offers to buy it. If the tenant is happy in its space, it won’t have to move, and presumably larger tenants have the funds to purchase it.
