Rivalry can arise from competing buildings, available space and landlord efforts to secure or retain tenants. Buyer power depends on tenant alternatives, lease requirements and the importance of a particular location. Supplier power includes the influence of construction capacity, finance, specialised service providers and land or materials conditions.
