EMEA guides

Currency & rent normalization

Local convention in EMEA: Local currency per sqm per year (UK uses sqft). Local currencies in active institutional use: EUR / GBP / CHF / SEK. Lease regime: UK: FRI leases with rent reviews. Continental EU: indexed leases (HVPI/IRL) with break options. Class A Atlas normalizes all city-level rent benchmarks to USD per sqft per year using a trailing 90-day FX average so cross-region comparisons stay apples-to-apples; per-city pages show both the local quotation and the normalized USD figure.
