Is this the total size, as measured between the outside surface of the exterior walls
of the building(s)? This includes all areas inside the building(s) such as: occupied
tenant areas, common areas, meeting areas, break rooms, restrooms, elevator shafts,
mechanical equipment areas, and storage rooms. Gross Floor Area should not include
interstitial plenum space between floors, which may house pipes and ventilation. Gross
Floor Area is not the same as rentable, but rather includes all area inside the building(s).
Leasable space would be a sub-set of Gross Floor Area. In the case where there is an
atrium, you should count the Gross Floor Area at the base level only. Do not increase
the size to accommodate open atrium space at higher levels. The Gross Floor Area
should not include any exterior spaces such as balconies or exterior loading docks and
driveways.
