How the math works

Sales PSF = annual sales ÷ square feet. It's the single most-watched retail productivity number.

Benchmarking by category matters. A $600 PSF apparel store is strong; $600 PSF grocery is weak. Always compare within category.

How to Use

  1. Enter tenant annual sales.
  2. Enter tenant square footage.
  3. Read sales PSF and monthly PSF.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PSF is strong?

Apparel: $250-$500. Jewelry: $800-$2,500. QSR: $600-$1,200. Electronics (excl Apple): $400-$800. Grocery: $500-$900. Category matters enormously.

Why monthly PSF?

Seasonal businesses report monthly, and rent is paid monthly. Annualized PSF smooths but monthly shows trends — key for retailers with big Q4 spike.

Is higher always better?

Not necessarily — very high PSF may mean undersized store. Balance PSF with total sales and store format. A $1,500 PSF boutique selling $500k may be less valuable than a $400 PSF store selling $4M.

What documentation matters here?

Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
