Vacancy Rate and Real Vacancy Rate
The real vacancy rate refers to the actual area of a mall vacant and the vacancy rate after excluding space reserved for incoming tenants on a contractual basis. To ensure malls remain open for business during renovation work, vacant space is temporarily increased through tenant replacement and other means. Nevertheless, the real vacancy rate in fiscal 2010 improved from 0.7% the previous year to 0.4%.
