Gross-Up Applicability
Rarely applicable — most manufacturing facilities are single-tenant. In multi-tenant flex/manufacturing parks, gross-up may apply to shared infrastructure costs.
Typical CAM Pools
- Parking maintenance
- Security
- Insurance
- Property taxes
- Fire/life safety systems
- Environmental compliance (shared)
- Management fees
Standard Exclusions
- Tenant process equipment
- Environmental remediation (tenant-caused)
- Capital improvements
- Specialized utility infrastructure
Common Lease Structures
NNN (single-tenant dominant)Absolute NNN with tenant responsible for all maintenance
Common Billing Errors
- Misallocating environmental compliance costs to tenants not generating the contamination
- Including specialized utility infrastructure as common area costs
- Charging manufacturing tenants for office-standard common area maintenance
Relevant BOMA Standards
- ANSI/BOMA Z65.2-2012 (Industrial Buildings)
Manufacturing Facility CAM Context
Manufacturing facility CAM is typically minimal because most leases are absolute NNN with the tenant responsible for virtually all operating costs. Disputes center on environmental liability allocation and shared utility infrastructure.
