Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision

Governing Mathematical Formula:

Total NNN Rent = Base Rent + CAM Pass-Through + Property Taxes + Insurance

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

NNN Expense Pass-Through Summation

Effective NNN Rent PSF = Base Rent + CAM + Property Taxes + Insurance = $24.00 + $5.50 + $3.75 = $33.25/SF.

Total Annual Commitment

Annual Cost = RSF × Effective Rate PSF. 4,500 RSF × $33.25 = $149,625/yr ($12,468.75/mo).

Risk Transfer Trade-off

Full service gross leases charge a premium ($35.00/SF) in exchange for the landlord absorbing all future spikes in property taxes and utility rates.
