1 Employed by CBRE as indicator of an average rent value that could theoretically be achieved, not implying that an adjustment of the in-place rent to the market rent is feasible, as stringent legal and contractual restrictions regarding rent increases exist.
2 ≤5 years = 2020-2024; 6-10 years = 2025-2029; ≥10 years = 2029ff.
3 Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent and market rent (defined in footnote 1).
4 For example rent increase cap of 15% or 20% for three years.
