toimitilayksikkö

Toimitilayksikkö is a Finnish term that refers to an office space unit used primarily in commercial real estate and property leasing. It represents a distinct functional area within a larger building, such as a floor or a section of a floor, and is typically measured in square metres. The concept is widely employed in rental contracts, sales listings, and portfolio management, giving landlords, tenants, and brokers a common basis for price calculation and occupancy analysis.

The measurement of a toimitilayksikkö usually includes the entire floor area within the external walls, and in many cases an agreed‑upon share of common areas such as corridors, stairwells, and service rooms. Unlike individual room measurements, the unit may combine several rooms or an office layout, allowing for flexible lease agreements and space planning. In practice, the definition of the unit can be negotiated between parties, but it generally follows national real‑estate standards and guidelines published by industry associations.

In the Finnish property market, toimitilayksikkö is analogous to the Dutch “office unit” or the English “office space unit.” It plays an essential role in valuation, tax assessment, and reporting of company assets. Proper definition and accurate measurement of the unit help ensure fair lease terms, simplify contract management, and facilitate comparisons across different markets and building types.
