01
Class-peak parking — 5:30–7 p.m. weekday and 8–10 a.m. weekend in Laguna Niguel push hardest. Walk the lot at peak before signing.
02
Slab, ceiling, and HVAC. Older Crown Valley shells need a real engineering review for HIIT or pilates reformer rooms (sound isolation, ceiling height for racks).
03
Use clause specificity. 'Fitness' in the lease language doesn't always cover combat sports, hot yoga, or recovery — get your exact format named.
04
Shower/plumbing where required. Most Crown Valley first-gen retail wasn't plumbed for showers; budget capital accordingly.
