Definition
The total area of a unit measured from the interior walls, representing the actual livable space. For condos, this is different from Gross Floor Area (GFA) which includes walls and common areas. Floor area determines how much furniture you can fit.
Examples
- •2BR condo: 56 sqm floor area
- •Floor area is your actual living space
Tips & Best Practices
- ✓Ask for floor plan with actual dimensions
- ✓Consider ceiling height too, not just floor area
- ✓Usable area is typically 85-90% of GFA
