Usable area defined by BOMA can generally be considered as the private space that tenants can use to house their own personnel, furniture and equipment. It is measured from the office side of the common corridor walls, the inside of exterior building walls, and the middle of partition walls separating the tenant's space from space occupied by other tenants. It does not include restrooms, elevator shafts, fire escapes, stairwells, electrical and mechanical rooms, janitorial rooms, elevator lobbies, or public corridors (for example, a corridor leading from the elevator lobby to the entrance of a tenant's office).

In this instance I would say the space would be measured from the interior of the exterior building walls since the walls are not shared with another tenant.

Answer by mjking is correct except he leaves out the common area access. You will also pay for the ability to access the suite (the stairs, etc) otherwise you are leasing a cube in the sky.
