Tenant information at a glance
A stacking plan shows a side view or “elevation” of a building, usually an office tower. The names of the tenants are shown floor by floor, with area occupied (sq. ft.), and often color coded by expiration year of the lease. It also shows vacancies, month-to-month leases and utility areas.

Comprehensive impression
A stacking plan is the graphic that conveys the most comprehensive information on an office building. It shows the general shape of the building and how everything fits together, including garages and rail access, elevator banks, and varying widths of floors. This is why we often make great efforts to create detailed stacking plans, and even turning it into a building rendering (see “Renderings”).
