Typical 75–99 year terms. Tenant owns the building, pays ground rent, and reverts the building to landowner at expiry. Common in NYC, London leasehold tracts, and Singapore JTC industrial estates.
Ground lease is part of the leasing vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across Global markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
