RevPAF

RevPAF is shorthand for “revenue per available foot.” This metric was recently popularized by Green Street Advisors, who typically cite M-RevPAF (market revenue per available foot) as a primary metric of real estate market health. RevPAF combines average market rents and occupancy rates into a single composite metric, which can be a useful way to assess how a given market is trending.

RevPAF can also be looked at holistically across markets, or aggregated to the sector level.
