There are two ways to measure space, and the difference shows up on your invoice. Usable square feet is what you can actually occupy. Rentable square feet adds your share of common areas like hallways, lobbies, and restrooms. You pay rent on the rentable number, even though you only work in the usable part.
Why this matters for small businesses
The gap between the two is the load factor, and it can quietly add 10 to 20 percent to your effective rent. Two listings with the same “square footage” can cost very different amounts once you account for what you actually get to use, plus CAM charges layered on top.
