How does TruSpace support due diligence before acquisition?

Before acquisition, rentable square footage is often treated as fixed input. TruSpace allows you to review floor plans, calculation logic, and tenant-level allocations in a centralized environment. If recalibration is required, it is documented and preserved. Capital decisions are stronger when the baseline is clear.

How does TruSpace support refinancing or lender review?

Lenders rely on lease abstracts and rent rolls. Those documents assume square footage is accurate. TruSpace provides the traceable documentation behind those numbers — floor plans, allocation logic, and load factor calculations — reducing friction during review. Defensibility becomes demonstrable.

Why does rentable square footage sometimes change after acquisition?

Because inherited assumptions are often preserved without re-evaluation. When assets are placed under consistent measurement logic, previously embedded interpretation decisions may surface. TruSpace doesn’t alter buildings. It clarifies the math behind them.

Understanding Load Factor

Tenants lease rentable square footage, not usable square footage. Drawings, stacking plans, and lease language must trace back to the same rentable baseline.

If they don’t, the foundation number splits — which means the building is operating from two versions of the truth.

BOMA & IPMS Compliance

Measurement standards evolve.

BOMA updates affect how spaces are calculated. If your building hasn’t been remeasured since 2010 or 2017, your rentable area may not reflect current methodology — which means your total rentable square footage may not represent the building’s full revenue capacity.

Understanding Load Factor

Rentable square footage includes a proportional share of common areas, like lobbies and parking garages.

That allocation — your load factor — redistributes the same core number across tenants. If common areas are mismeasured, the baseline shifts — which means every lease reflects that distortion.

Acquisitions & Legacy Measurement

As portfolios grow, measurement history fragments.

Different assets may be based on different methodologies.

If the baseline isn’t unified, reporting loses integrity — which means strategic decisions are built on uneven data.

Defensibility

Measurement underpins lease language, renewals, and disputes. When square footage is questioned, everything traces back to one figure.

If that number cannot be substantiated, it can be challenged — which means revenue becomes negotiable.

Buildings Runs on One Number

If that number drifts, everything above it shifts. See where measurement matters most.
