Glossary Term Defined

The “Gross Building Area” of a building is the total area comprised of the building’s Footprint plus Rentable Mezzanine, based on Exterior Dimensions. If the Rentable Mezzanine includes any Storage Mezzanine area: 1. The exact square footage of the Storage Mezzanine area to be included must be clearly identified; AND 2. It must be clearly stated that the Storage Mezzanine area so identified is included as Rentable Mezzanine in the Gross Building Area.

This area is computed by measuring to the outside finish surface of permanent outer building walls, without deductions. All enclosed floor of the building, including basements, garages, mechanical equipment floors, penthouses, and the like , are calculated. Some time called "construction area".
