A 1st floor fenced in w/ gate outdoor patio is in out building and a part of the Tenant space. Is this area 950 sf and a small 350 sf 4th floor outdoor balcony considered to be rentable area? What chapter / paragraph is this definable in BOMA 2010?

Same question for BOMA 20017?

Hi Ken,

In BOMA 2010, none of these outdoor areas would be included. In BOMA 2017, the balcony would be included in Tenant Area and the 1st floor outdoor patio would only be included as Tenant Area if it was part of a Covered Gallery.

Thanks,
David

In the most recent BOMA, are industrial properties with a loading dock for semi's with an awning/covering be considered square footage of the building and/or lease-able square footage?

Thanks,
JJ

Hi JJ,

The latest BOMA Industrial Standard includes covered loading docks in the rentable area, but the area needs to be covered by a Permanent Roof.

Thanks,
David
