How is the 'date available' typically represented in space absorption?

The 'date available' in the context of space absorption is typically represented by the start date of reporting. This date indicates when a space is considered vacant and thus available for leasing or occupancy. It is a crucial point in the assessment of market dynamics, as it marks the beginning of the period during which any newly available space can impact the overall vacancy rate and absorption metrics. Properly identifying the start date is essential for tracking how quickly spaces are leased and understanding trends in tenant demand over time.

While the other options relate to different aspects of real estate metrics, they do not specifically denote the 'date available' in the same way. The vacancy rate indicates the proportion of unoccupied space rather than the timing of availability, while the end date of reporting indicates when data collection concludes, and the renewal date is associated with lease agreements being extended rather than new space becoming available.
