Clearly Defining “Gross Leasable Area” in Opening Co-Tenancy Provisions

Q Several tenants have already moved into the shopping center I own, although parts of the center are still under construction. When the project is complete, the center will consist of five freestanding buildings. One tenant's lease has an opening co-tenancy requirement permitting it to pay only half of its monthly rent if less than 50 percent of the center is leased, and to continue paying reduced rent until the opening co-tenancy requirement is met.
