Retail Space

Freestanding Building
A freestanding building is an independent structure not attached to any other structures, often distinct and self-standing.
Gross Leasable Area
Gross Leasable Area (GLA) refers to the total floor area of a building that can be used by tenants, including all areas that are used by tenants and the communal spaces shared by tenants. It is measured from the center of joint partitions to the exterior surfaces of outside walls.
Mall Stores
Mall stores are retail outlets located within a shopping mall, excluding the anchor tenant. These stores benefit from the general foot traffic generated by the anchor tenants, often leading to lesser advertising needs despite higher rent.
Pad Site
A pad site is an individual freestanding retail space that typically encompasses ¾ to 1½ acres, often located near larger shopping centers or commercial developments.
Retail Property
A retail property is a classification designated through zoning ordinances, allowing for various types of businesses such as stores or shopping centers, enhancing the commercial use of an area.
Satellite Tenants
Satellite tenants in a shopping center or mall are those tenants other than the anchor tenants, typically smaller retailers that benefit from the foot traffic generated by the anchor stores.
