for a strip retail building with second floor office what is the correct measurement standard to use? is it boma retail or boma mixed use? Is it appropriate to allocate interior common area to a self contained strip retail tenant who has no direct access or use of any interior common area?
Hi Tim,
If Common Areas are not shared at all, there will be no MUCA (mixed use common area) so you would simply use the retail standard for the retail portion and the office standard for the office portion.
If there is MUCA, then you should use the mixed-use standard.
