# Pre-built suite

*Construction · US*

## Short definition

A landlord-built office in a [Class A](/glossary/class-a) building, delivered fitted but typically minimally customised.

## Full definition

Landlords build pre-built suites speculatively in trophy buildings to address smaller tenant demand efficiently. Typical size 2,500-7,500 sqft. Tenant takes on shorter notice, less customisation.

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

Pre-built suite is part of the construction vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across US markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the US definition alongside the global standard so [cross-border](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
