Retail Standard
The BOMA Retail Standard (ANSI/BOMA Z65.5) is specifically designed for shopping centers and street-level retail. It focuses on Gross Leasable Area (GLA) and is unique because it generally measures to the outside face of exterior walls and the centerline of partitions, reflecting the "transactional" nature of retail space.
