BOMA Area Calculations Services for a Two-Building Retail Center

Reality IMT field-verified two multi-tenant retail buildings and prepared ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2024 interior use, lease gross, and building gross area plans for leasing, property records, and tenant-area verification.

Project Overview

Project Summary

Reality IMT documented Buildings 3 and 4 at 410 W Whitestone Boulevard in Cedar Park, Texas. The assignment required field-verified existing-condition plans and area calculations prepared in accordance with ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2024.

The completed drawing package separates three area concepts that are often confused in retail leasing and property records: interior use area, lease gross area, and total building gross area. The plans also distinguish tenant spaces, vacant suites, service rooms, kitchens, dining areas, coolers, offices, storage, mechanical areas, and shared-wall conditions.

Building 3 measured approximately 8,502 square feet of building gross area, with approximately 8,233 square feet of scheduled interior use area. Building 4 measured approximately 8,464 square feet of building gross area, with approximately 8,257 square feet of scheduled interior use area. Together, the two buildings total approximately 16,966 square feet of building gross area.

Client Need

Project Challenge

The property required a consistent area record that separated usable interior space from lease gross area and total building footprint. The retail configuration included occupied suites, vacant suites, kitchens, dining zones, coolers, offices, bathrooms, storage, mechanical or riser rooms, and walls shared between adjoining tenants.

Multiple Area Definitions

The drawings had to clearly distinguish interior use area, lease gross area, and building gross area so each figure could be used for the correct business purpose.

Shared-Wall Allocation

Lease areas required consistent treatment of exterior wall thickness and one-half of walls shared between adjoining tenant spaces.

Mixed Retail Conditions

Occupied and vacant suites contained different room types and service areas that needed to be measured, classified, and scheduled consistently.

Reality IMT’s Approach

Field-Verified Measurements and Standardized Area Plans

Reality IMT organized the work so the field measurements, tenant boundaries, room classifications, area calculations, and drawing schedules could be reviewed together in one coordinated package.

Field Measurement

Exterior and interior dimensions were collected and verified for the two retail buildings.

Existing-Condition Plans

The building geometry, tenant divisions, shared partitions, rooms, and service areas were translated into coordinated plans.

BOMA Area Calculations

Interior use, lease gross, and building gross areas were calculated and documented using ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2024 principles.

Schedules and QA/QC

Tenant summaries and room-area schedules were checked against the drawings before issue.

Project Outputs

Deliverables Provided

The project package provided complementary area views so the property team could understand how each square-footage figure was derived.

Dimensioned Existing-Condition Plans

Field-verified plans showing exterior dimensions, tenant boundaries, rooms, and internal partitions.

Interior Use Area Plans

Net interior areas measured to finished enclosing faces and the centerline of interior partitions.

Lease Gross Area Plans

Tenant areas calculated with full exterior wall thickness and one-half of shared walls between adjoining suites.

Building Gross Area Plans

Total building footprint measured to the outside face of exterior walls.

Tenant and Room Area Schedules

Area tables summarizing tenants, vacant suites, interior uses, and dedicated service spaces.

Panoramic Photo Plan

A drawing-based visual reference connecting panoramic field documentation to each building plan.

Project Outcome

A Clear Area Record for Leasing and Property Management

The completed documents gave the property team one coordinated record showing usable interior areas, lease gross areas, and total building footprints for both retail buildings.

The drawings can support tenant-area verification, leasing discussions, property records, space planning, and future renovation work without relying on inconsistent legacy measurements.
