USABLE AREA
(SQUARE FEET):
Office area actually occupied by a tenant for its sole and exclusive use. The usable area on a single
floor of a building may vary depending upon corridor configurations, whether the floor is for a single
tenant or multiple tenant occupancy, etc.
RENTABLE AREA
(SQUARE FEET):
The rentable area includes the usable area plus a pro rata share of common areas on the entire office
floor and in the building itself (e.g. main lobby) excluding vertical shafts, such as elevators, stairs,
mechanical risers, etc.
COMMON AREAS:
Common areas are those portions of the building used by all office tenants or which serve all office
areas. Common areas include corridors, restrooms, public lobbies, and, in some buildings, mechanical
space, loading docks and other service areas which benefit all tenants.
LOAD FACTOR/COMMON
AREA ALLOCATION:
That percentage of the building which is common area, allocated to the tenants to increase their usable
area to rentable area. A common area factor of ten percent (10%) means that 900 usable square feet
would be 990 rentable square feet.
LAYOUT EFFICIENCY:
Efficiency of the usable area to meet tenant’s requirements. Efficiency of usable area is dictated by such
factors as: building shape, core location, column size location, floor size, leasing depth, corridors, etc.
Area/Space Definitions
A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms
colliers international | Baltimore | P. 3
RENT: The cost charged per rentable square foot, typically expressed on an annual basis forthe entire leased area.
BASE MINIMUM RENT: Usually the first year’s rental cost, normally identified as the annual rent in a gross lease.
COMMON AREAS:
Common areas are those portions of the building used by all office tenants or which serve all office
areas. Common areas include corridors, restrooms, public lobbies, and, in some buildings, mechanical
space, loading docks and other service areas which benefit all tenants.
EXPENSE STOP:
An identified dollar amount, either on a dollar per square foot per year basis or a pro rata share basis of
total operating expense cost, that the landlord is responsible for paying. Any increase over the expense
“stop” will be passed through to the tenant.
GROSS RENT:
A rental rate that includes normal building services (e.g. utilities, janitorial, repairs, payroll, etc.) as
provided by the landlord within the base year rental.
MODIFIED GROSS RENT
(NET LEASE):
A rental rate that includes only certain services provided by landlord. The tenant is usually responsible
for cost of utilities and janitorial services.
NET NET NET RENT:
A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses and real estate taxes associated with its
proportionate share of occupancy of the building.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Those normal expenses associated with the operation of a standard office building, including, but not
limited to: utilities, janitorial service, consumable supplies, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair,
etc. Ownership expenses, leasing and marketing costs, and capital repairs and/or replacements are
not operating expenses.
BASE YEAR:
The year of building operation, normally a calendar year, in which the landlord fixes or identifies the
operating costs which are included in a gross or semi-net lease.
Any increases in operating expenses over the base year are billed to the tenant on a pro rata share of
occupancy.
PRO RATA SHARE:
The ratio between the tenant’s percent of occupancy of its rentable square footage of the building to
the entire rentable area of the building.
Rental & Expense Definitions
A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms
colliers international | Baltimore | P. 4
EXPENSE ALLOCATION:
The allocation of expenses (either in whole or above a base year or expense stop) to a tenant based
upon the tenant’s pro rata share.
RECAPTURE:
A term used to describe the billing to tenants of their pro rata share of increased operating expenses,
usually after those expenses have been incurred and paid for by the landlord.
PROJECTED/ESTIMATED
OPERATING EXPENSE
INCREASE:
A “good faith” estimate by the owner as to current operating expenses increases over a base year,
which are billed to the tenant as additional rent.
RENTAL COMPONENTS:
Three (3) basic rental components are:
Ownership Costs: The cost to the owner to own the building, servicing existing debt, receiving a
return on equity. Also included would be costs of capital improvements and repairs not considered
standard operating costs.
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes: Those expenses and taxes necessary for the day-to-
day operation of the building that have not been outlined above.
Tenant Improvements or Tenant Allowances: The return amortized costs to the landlord, over
the term of the lease, of the landlord’s building standard TI work letter and any other costs which
landlord has agreed to assume or amortize for the tenant.
BASE YEAR:
The year of building operation, normally a calendar year, in which the landlord fixes or identifies the
operating costs which are included in a gross or semi-net lease.
Any increases in operating expenses over the base year are billed to the tenant on a pro rata share of
occupancy.
A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms
colliers international | Baltimore | P. 5
FREE RENT
(RENTAL ABATEMENT):
Period of time during which the tenant occupies the premises but does not pay rent. Be careful to
determine if landlord will seek a reimbursement of expenses, or if those will be included in the free
rent.
FIXED INCREASE
TO RENT:
A rental rate which increases by fixed amounts during the period of the lease term.
CPI OR PERCENTAGE
INCREASE TO RENT:
Changes in the base rent during the term of the lease, including fixed percentages, C.P.I. increases, or
pre-set “bumps” in the rental rate at specified points in the lease term.
EFFECTIVE RENT:
The dollar per square foot per year, which the tenant actually pays on average over the term of the
lease. This would be the average of specified rents in a stair-stepped lease, as well as the average
rent of a lease with substantial free rent period. Example: The effective rate of a five (5)-year lease
with six (6) months free rent is ten percent (10%) less than the face rent.
FACE RENT: The identified rental rate in a lease (also known as contract rate), as shown in the lease itself.
CONCESSIONS:
Inducements offered by a landlord to get a tenant to sign a lease. Common concessions are rent
abatement, extra tenant improvement dollars, payment of moving costs and assumption of an existing
lease obligation.
LEASE ASSUMPTION:
A new landlord’s commitment to pay the cost of a company’s lease to its prior landlord to facilitate
their moving into his project.
LEASE BUY-OUT:
A cash payment from a new landlord to a tenant’s previous landlord to cancel the remaining balance
of an existing lease term.
SUBLEASE: Leasing of premises by a tenant to another party for the balance of an existing lease term.
MOVING ALLOWANCE: An offer by a new landlord to pay all or part of tenant’s moving costs.
AIR MARKET VALUE:
The market rental value of space similar to the leased premises for comparison purposes, typically
used in determining rent for renewal terms.
PRE-LEASE: Leasing of premises in a building that is under construction and not yet ready for occupancy.

  • 1. A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms
  • 2. A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms colliers international | Baltimore | P. 2 USABLE AREA (SQUARE FEET): Office area actually occupied by a tenant for its sole and exclusive use. The usable area on a single floor of a building may vary depending upon corridor configurations, whether the floor is for a single tenant or multiple tenant occupancy, etc. RENTABLE AREA (SQUARE FEET): The rentable area includes the usable area plus a pro rata share of common areas on the entire office floor and in the building itself (e.g. main lobby) excluding vertical shafts, such as elevators, stairs, mechanical risers, etc. COMMON AREAS: Common areas are those portions of the building used by all office tenants or which serve all office areas. Common areas include corridors, restrooms, public lobbies, and, in some buildings, mechanical space, loading docks and other service areas which benefit all tenants. LOAD FACTOR/COMMON AREA ALLOCATION: That percentage of the building which is common area, allocated to the tenants to increase their usable area to rentable area. A common area factor of ten percent (10%) means that 900 usable square feet would be 990 rentable square feet. LAYOUT EFFICIENCY: Efficiency of the usable area to meet tenant’s requirements. Efficiency of usable area is dictated by such factors as: building shape, core location, column size location, floor size, leasing depth, corridors, etc. Area/Space Definitions
  • 3. A Client Guide to Real Estate Terms colliers international | Baltimore | P. 3 RENT: The cost charged per rentable square foot, typically expressed on an annual basis forthe entire leased area. BASE MINIMUM RENT: Usually the first year’s rental cost, normally identified as the annual rent in a gross lease. COMMON AREAS: Common areas are those portions of the building used by all office tenants or which serve all office areas. Common areas include corridors, restrooms, public lobbies, and, in some buildings, mechanical space, loading docks and other service areas which benefit all tenants. EXPENSE STOP: An identified dollar amount, either on a dollar per square foot per year basis or a pro rata share basis of total operating expense cost, that the landlord is responsible for paying. Any increase over the expense “stop” will be passed through to the tenant. GROSS RENT: A rental rate that includes normal building services (e.g. utilities, janitorial, repairs, payroll, etc.) as provided by the landlord within the base year rental. MODIFIED GROSS RENT (NET LEASE): A rental rate that includes only certain services provided by landlord. The tenant is usually responsible for cost of utilities and janitorial services.

Any increases in operating expenses over the base year are billed to the tenant on a pro rata share of occupancy. PRO RATA SHARE: The ratio between the tenant’s percent of occupancy of its rentable square footage of the building to the entire rentable area of the building. Rental & Expense Definitions
