        "text": "The terms 'retail build-out' and 'tenant improvement' are often used interchangeably, but there's a subtle distinction. A build-out typically refers to constructing a new space from a raw shell, or making significant structural changes to an existing one to suit a new retail tenant. Tenant improvements (TIs) generally encompass less extensive modifications made to an existing space to meet a tenant's needs, often funded partly by the landlord. Both aim to customize a commercial space for a business.",
