1. What is Pre-Leased Percentage?

Pre-Leased Percentage is a key metric in commercial real estate that measures the proportion of a property's total leasable area that has been leased before construction completion or property delivery. It indicates the leasing success and market demand for a commercial property.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Pre-Leased Percentage formula:

\[ \text{Pre-Leased %} = \frac{\text{Pre-Leased Area}}{\text{Total Area}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{Pre-Leased Area} \) — Total area already leased (ft²)
\( \text{Total Area} \) — Total leasable area of the property (ft²)
\( 100 \) — Conversion to percentage

Explanation: This simple ratio calculation provides the percentage of occupied space relative to the total available space, giving a clear picture of leasing performance.

3. Importance of Pre-Leased Percentage

Details: Pre-leased percentage is crucial for real estate developers, investors, and lenders as it indicates project viability, helps secure financing, demonstrates market demand, and predicts future cash flow stability.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter pre-leased area and total area in square feet. Both values must be positive numbers, and pre-leased area cannot exceed total area. The result shows the pre-leased percentage with two decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered a good pre-leased percentage?
A: Typically, 50-70% is good for securing construction loans, while 80%+ is excellent and indicates strong market demand.

Q2: How does pre-leased percentage affect property valuation?
A: Higher pre-leased percentages generally lead to higher property valuations as they reduce leasing risk and provide more predictable income streams.

Q3: Should common areas be included in total area?
A: No, total area should only include net leasable area. Common areas, mechanical spaces, and other non-leasable areas should be excluded.

Q4: What's the difference between pre-leased and occupancy rate?
A: Pre-leased percentage refers to leases signed before completion, while occupancy rate measures current tenant occupancy in an existing property.

Q5: How often should pre-leased percentage be tracked?
A: It should be monitored regularly during the development phase and updated with each new lease commitment to track progress toward leasing goals.
