Currency & rent normalization
Local convention in MEA: Local currency per sqft or sqm per year. Local currencies in active institutional use: AED / SAR / QAR / ILS / ZAR. Lease regime: Gulf: 1–3 year leases, often paid in 1–4 cheques annually. SA/IL: longer terms with annual reviews. 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.
