How long will the office tenant continue to stay?
Analysis of Length of Occupancy | Office Tenants in Tokyo 23 Wards

Xymax Real Estate Institute estimated the Average Occupancy Period of Office Tenants (Tokyo 23 Wards), which is represented by the time until fifty percent of the tenants to depart from the building, estimated with the Kaplan–Meier method.

Currently available indicators in the real estate market include data of market rent and rental growth of office buildings, but very few indicators of the occupancy period exist due to difficulties in obtaining and analyzing data.

This analysis may be used in various situations related to real estate management by the real estate market players as a guide of tenant turnover assumptions when estimating income from the asset.

(From the start of the occupancy to the time until fifty percent of the tenants to depart from the building)
