Does the Actual Space Measurement Really Matter?

According to Ted Parcel, Senior Vice President of NAI Global Corporate Services, the answer is yes and no. Space measurement does not matter in cases where there is annual or monthly rent defined in the contract in terms of absolute dollars and there is no pass throughs of common area expenses to the tenants. In most other cases size matters and here is why.

Many contracts provide for a rental rate on a dollar per square foot basis. The basis may be rentable, gross, or usable and there are a number of alternative space measurement standards. In these cases, the rent is multiplied by the area of the demised premises so an incorrect rental rate can lead to a discrepancy between what is actually being rented and the amount of the rent.
