April 2018 | Dallas, TX – How many commercial leases are there in the world? The size of the global commercial real estate leasing market has not received significant study to date. It’s an interesting question to consider, and with the upcoming FASB lease accounting changes that will require the future value of commercial lease obligations to show on occupier balance sheets, it’s a timely one.
In an attempt to put forth a defensible answer, RealFoundations’ Founder David Stanford and Senior Research Consultant Ward S. Caswell worked together to estimate the number of leases for office, industrial and retail markets in approximately 90 countries. What follows is an overview of the results and the methodology used to arrive at that number. We hope this ‘study’ will spark a conversation – read it, think about it and then let us know what you think.
