Tuesday Tip: Not all square footage is created equal!
When leasing commercial space, you'll often see both Usable SF and Rentable SF.
Usable SF = the space your business occupies exclusively.
Rentable SF = your usable space plus your share of common areas like lobbies, hallways, restrooms, elevators, and other building amenities.
The benefit? You gain access to professional shared spaces without bearing the full cost of maintaining them on your own.
Understanding the difference helps you compare opportunities and find the best value for your business.
