Commercial tenants

Our co-op in Williamsburg is considering renting a vacant storefront space formerly used as an artist studio to a store or other commercial use. I’d appreciate hearing about anyone else’s experience with this. Are there legal concerns to be aware of? How long are leases usually? Does anyone know real estate agents in the area who deal with commercial tenants? How do you attract a book store, or even a large clothing store? Thanks!
