Balcony and terrace areas

Jessica Hogue: DLR GROUP; February 24, 2021

Should balcony and terrace areas be included in the total Boundary Area for each floor?

David Fingret: Extreme Measures Inc.; February 25, 2021

Yes, there is a Boundary Condition "Unenclosed (Building or Occupant) Feature" specifically for balconies, finished rooftop terraces and covered galleries.

Thanks,
David

what if the balcony is for a single tenant?

David Fingret: Extreme Measures Inc.; October 7, 2022

Hi David,

It is included in the Boundary Area as per above and classified as Tenant Area, but separately disclosed from the tenant's interior space.

Thanks,
David
