Super area
Measurement
In one line
Built-up area plus a share of the common areas. A sales figure, not a legal one.
Super area loads each flat with a proportion of lobbies, stairs, lifts and services. The loading factor is at the seller's discretion and has historically ranged from 20% to over 50%, which is why RERA moved mandatory disclosure to carpet area.
