Reading This Schedule
- Fixed % escalations compound: each year's increase is a percentage of the prior year's (already-escalated) rent.
- Fixed $/SF escalations grow the rent by the same dollar amount each year, so the percentage increase shrinks over time relative to the growing base.
- This schedule shows face rent only. Any free rent or abatement will lower actual effective rent below what's shown here.
This models the base rent component of an NNN or modified gross lease. For a full monthly payment including CAM, use the lease calculator.
