Occupancy colour that does not impersonate covenant strength
Estate maps for multi-let industrial parks in the Midlands often arrive with a traffic-light key. Let units are green, voids red, and everything else amber. That key is fine for a site manager walking the yard. It is a poor key for an investment committee, because it says nothing about who is paying.
Toolkitcraftcore uses occupancy as a hatch or a pale fill, and covenant concentration as a separate mark — a copper tick on units whose occupier accounts for more than an agreed share of park rent. The share is set in the holdings sitting. Fifteen per cent is a common starting point for a forty-unit estate; a three-unit parade needs a different threshold or the map is all ticks.
We avoid red. Printed packs travel under yellow lighting in basements, and red-green keys fail some readers. Void is a cool grey; let is paper white with a thin slate outline; the copper is reserved for concentration. If a unit is in administration, that is a caption, not a fourth colour.
Base plans from managing agents sometimes show mezzanines as extra units. If the rent roll treats the mezzanine as part of the ground-floor demise, the map must follow the rent roll. We would rather a slightly ugly outline than a beautiful plan that double-counts income.
Bring photographs of the estate board. Unit 7 on the plan is often Unit 7A on the gutter. Those mismatches are cheaper to catch before the A1 is printed.
