Real Estate Math

A Mississippi commercial building has 20,000 square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). The building is 85% occupied. How many square feet are currently vacant?

A3,000 sq ft✓ Correct
B3,500 sq ft
C2,550 sq ft
D4,000 sq ft

Explanation

Vacant space = GLA × (1 - occupancy rate) = 20,000 × (1 - 0.85) = 20,000 × 0.15 = 3,000 square feet. At 85% occupancy, 15% of the space (3,000 SF) is vacant.
