Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial real estate carries exposures that differ from residential property. The Stewart Agency works with Tulsa building owners and investors to review their properties, explain their options, and compare coverage from a wide range of carriers.

Coverage for Owner-Occupied Buildings

Building

The structure, permanent fixtures, and building systems.

Business Personal Property

Equipment, inventory, and furnishings.

Business Income

Income lost while operations are interrupted by a covered loss.

Equipment Breakdown

Mechanical and electrical systems such as HVAC and electrical panels.

Lessor’s Risk Only

For owners who lease space to tenants, a lessor’s risk only policy covers the building and the owner’s liability as landlord. Tenants carry their own coverage for their operations.

What Building Owners Should Review

  • Valuation. Whether your limits reflect current construction costs.
  • Coinsurance requirements. An underinsured building can reduce a claim payment.
  • Wind and hail deductibles. These are often a percentage of the building limit.
  • Lease requirements. What your tenants must carry and whether you are named as an additional insured.
  • Vacancy provisions. Coverage may be restricted when a building or a large share of it sits empty.
  • Ordinance or law coverage. The cost of meeting current building codes after a loss.

Common Questions

It is a policy provision that requires you to insure the building to a set percentage of its value. If the limit falls short, a claim payment may be reduced.
