For this conceptual design, total rentable space for the shopping center is about 9,858 square meters or 85 percent of the total building floor area. Since revenue will be generated by rentals, the greater the rentable space, the more income the project will generate. However, renting only 85 percent of the total floor area will allow for the most comfortable flow of people and goods. The rentable area by level and approximate number of stalls is presented in Table 3-2.
