Üüripind

äripind is a term used in Nordic real estate to describe a space within a building that is intended for commercial use, such as retail stores, offices, clinics, or other business activities. The expression appears in property listings, leases, and valuation reports and is used to indicate the size of space available for a tenant’s business operations.

In practice, the exact scope of äripind varies by country, contract, and local practice. It commonly refers to the net leasable area—the floor space that a tenant can use—excluding shared or common areas such as corridors, stairwells, lobbies, restrooms, and technical rooms. Some leases, however, define äripind as gross area, which may include a portion of common spaces or partition walls. Consequently, the same property may have different äripind figures in different agreements.

Because definitions differ, measurements and naming conventions are typically specified in the lease or by local real estate associations. When comparing properties, it is important to verify whether the stated äripind refers to net or gross area and which spaces are included or excluded.

Overall, äripind functions as a practical descriptor for the size of space intended for commercial use within a building, guiding rental decisions, valuations, and market comparisons.
