Realtors and property managers often state the lease amount for commercial buildings in terms of square footage, such as $1.87 per square foot. Depending on the space you are leasing, this term can be misleading.ivide that amount by your usable square footage to calculate your actual price per usable square foot. For example, if the rentable square footage is 1,130 and the price is $1 per square foot, your monthly lease amount is $1,130.
Most leases grant tenant allowances as a lump sum that's based on a per-square-foot basis. For example, a tenant moving into a downtown office building might receive a $40-per-square-foot allowance. So if the tenant occupies a 5,000-square-foot space, the landlord would provide $200,000 toward build-out costs.
