The key elements of such an agreement typically include:

4. Lease Duration: The lease period, which could range from a few years to several decades, depending on the parties’ agreement.
5. Rent and Payment Terms: The amount of rent to be paid, along with the payment schedule, whether it is monthly, quarterly, or annually. Any conditions regarding rent escalation might also be included.
6. Construction Specifications: Details of any requirements regarding the construction, such as the style, materials to be used, and any permissions or permits needed from local authorities.
7. Maintenance and Repairs: Responsibilities for maintaining the land and the construction during the lease period, including any obligation for repairs or improvements.
8. Termination Clauses: Circumstances under which the lease may be terminated, such as failure to adhere to construction timelines or maintenance obligations.
9. Renewal Options: Any provisions for renewing the lease or extending the term.
10. Dispute Resolution: How disputes related to the lease or construction will be resolved, often including mediation or arbitration procedures.
