, mixed use, the BOMA Standard

BOMA, or the Building Owners and Managers Association International, is known for its suite of floor measurement standards that are widely utilized in the real estate industry. These standards provide a systematic approach for measuring various types of property, including office, retail, mixed-use, and industrial spaces buildings, ensuring consistency and accuracy in determining usable and rentable square footage. Understanding BOMA calculations is essential for property owners and managers as it impacts crucial aspects such as lease agreements, rental rates, and overall space utilization.

"For more than a century, BOMA International has set the standard for measuring buildings. In 1915, BOMA published its first office standard, Standard Method of Floor Measurement. Throughout the years the standard has been revised to reflect the changing needs of the real estate market and the evolution of office building design. Today, BOMA International is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) secretariat for a suite of area measurement standards." BOMA International

Standards for previous versions may still apply to a building where an older standard was initially used to determine leasable space. The current Office Building Standards offer Methods A and B, with Method A being consistent with the 1996 Legacy Standard, and Method B being streamlined and simplified providing a whole building load factor applying common space evenly throughout the building.
