Do you include square footage for mezzanine space in the total Gross Leasable Area of a Retail Suite in addition to "Disclosing" square footage in column "J" of the Standard Methods calculation?
(The area in question does not equate to a large enough percentage of the specific suite lease space to qualify as a 2nd Flr. area.)
Thank you for your assistance,
Marie Monette

Hi Marie,
The area of the mezzanine should be part of the aggregate Gross Leasable Area of the unit but separately disclosed. For example, you would space id the main area of the unit and the mezzanine separately, such as "Unit 1" and "Unit 1 Mezzanine". The total would be the Gross Leasable Area of the unit.
Thanks,
David

In an Auto Repair / car dealership there is 5k sqft of second floor office, restrooms, storage and storage. It is built with concrete and steel. It has two steel stair cases for access. It was not an addition and the building was built with the second floor space included. However, on the property card, there doesnt show any 2nd floor space. It doesnt list it as mezzanine either. Should we include second floor office space in BOMA measurements for leasable space?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi James,
Yes the second floor / mezzanine should be included as part of the Gross Leasable Area of the building.
Thanks,

Is the mezzanine area calculated similarly to first floor? Outside face of exterior walls, centreline of demising walls if any, edge of mezzanine?
Thanks Val

The BOMA 2010 Retail Standard States:
If there are areas within gross leasable area that are mezzanines (see definition), separately measure them to the following perimetric boundaries:
At exterior enclosures, the measure line on the exterior face of the enclosure
At walls separating adjacent occupants, the centerline of the wall
At common areas, the lease line
At all other perimeter walls, the side of the wall opposite from the occupant side of the wall.
