Q

Explaining Zoning for Retail ?

A

Zoning is a standard method of measuring retail premises to calculate and compare their value.

Shop or retail premises are divided into a number of zones each of a depth of 9.14 meters.

Zone A closest to the window is most valuable with the value decreasing with distance from the frontage:

Zone B is the next, then Zone C until the entire depth of the retail area is allocated to a zone - anything after Zone C is usually defined as the remainder.
