Calculated Output Metrics

Total Landlord TI Cash Outlay $225,000.00
Annualized TI Amortization Drag $56,350.00 / yr
Amortized TI Cost per SF $11.27 / SF / yr
Effective Net Rent Realized by Landlord $20.73 / SF / yr

Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
TI Amortization = Total TI Allowance × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ - 1] | Effective Net Rent = Base Rent - Amortized TI

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Gross TI Capital Deployment

Total TI Outlay = Leased Area (SF) × Allowance per SF = 5,000 × $45 = $225,000.

2
Capital Recovery Amortization

Amortizing $225,000 over 5 years at 8% cost of capital requires $56,350 annually ($11.27/SF/yr).

3
Effective Net Rent Reality

Effective Net Rent = Contract Rent - Amortized TI. While the lease reads $32.00/SF, the landlord actually nets only $20.73/SF after recovering upfront buildout capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between turnkey buildout and a TI allowance? +
A TI allowance provides a fixed dollar budget (e.g. $45/SF); any cost overruns must be paid by the tenant. In a turnkey buildout, the landlord agrees to deliver the space completed to agreed architectural specifications regardless of cost overruns.
Can unused TI allowance be taken as rent credit? +
Only if explicitly negotiated in the commercial lease agreement. Most standard commercial leases stipulate that unused TI allowances are forfeited by the tenant at rent commencement.
