OFFICE VACANCY SURVEY THE VOICE OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY fourth quarter 2007 Introduction Please note that the total rentable areas will change from time to time as new and revamped buildings come on stream. The Survey is dynamic and data will change as buildings are completed and are up or down-graded. Panelists continue to classify buildings more accurately and, in some areas, the values in the various grades have changed since the last survey. Grade C has now been included for some areas in the survey due to a number of nodes having significant active C grade space. Grade P (Premium) space has also been included in some areas. Please refer to the Area Definitions section to ascertain the boundaries for each area. The statistics only reflect actual occupation even though major leases may have been signed. The results are aggregated from data provided by individual building for a sample of over 70% of properties in the areas covered. The methodology ensures that there is no duplication of data. SAPOA endeavours to ensure that all information published in this survey is as accurate as possible and SAPOA cannot be responsible for errors, omissions or interpretations thereof. Definitions 1.
