## Short definition

A fully-fitted suite delivered ready for occupancy by the landlord.

## Full definition

Common in trophy buildings as a marketing tool — landlord delivers a fully-built suite (including furniture in some cases) and adjusts the rent to amortise the investment. Faster occupancy, less tenant capital deployed.

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

Turnkey is part of the construction vocabulary that institutional [Class A](/glossary/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](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
