Exterior Staircase included in common area?

Warren Zinn: Atlas Capital Group; October 30, 2023

Hi for a single story multi tenant industrial building are the exit staircases along the loading dock included in the common area measurements? Most of the staircases exclusively serve the tenant, though some are shared between two tenants. They are not covered by the roofline.

Hi Warren,

Those staircases are excluded.

Thanks,
David
