5 Retail Terms and Definitions Total Square Footage Retail inventory includes all multi-tenant and single tenant properties at least 25,000 square feet. Downtown retail inventory includes King Street and Market Street retail spaces as well as properties at least 25,000 square feet. Retail Buildings Classifications Super Regional Centers are properties with greater than two million square feet of space, drawing from a trade area encompassing multiple smaller submarkets. Sub Regional centers include centers of 500,000 square feet or greater that service one main submarket exclusively. Single Tenant retail includes power center tenants in free-standing centers as well as stand-alone retailers. Large Strip Centers are car oriented strip retail centers of 150,000 square feet or greater. Small Strip Centers are centers of 50,000 to 150,000 square feet, and include many local and grocery anchored centers. Vacancy and Availability The vacancy rate is the amount of physically vacant space divided by the inventory and includes direct and sublease vacant. The availability rate is the amount of space available for lease divided by the inventory. Net Absorption The net change in physically occupied space over a period of time. The dollar amount asked by landlords for available space expressed in dollars per square foot per year in most parts of the country. Retail rents are reported on a triple net basis where all costs include, but not limited to, real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance are borne by the tenant on a pro rata basis. The asking rent for each building in the market is weighted by the amount of available space in the building. This has the effect of causing rental rates on larger spaces to affect the average more than that of smaller spaces. The weighted average asking rental rate is calculated by taking the ratio of the square footage associated with the rental rate on each individual available space to the square footage associated with rental rates on all available spaces, multiplying the rental rate by that ratio, and then adding together all the resulting numbers. Asking rental rate averages only includes Direct Space being offered for lease directly from the landlord or owner of a building. It does not include Sublet Space being offered by another tenant trying to sublet an already leased space.
