French term

volumes commercialisés

French to English Bus/Financial Real Estate
Please can anybody clarify 'volumes commercialisés' in this context? I'm not sure if it is 'sales volume' or 'market volume'?

Malgré une conjoncture perturbée, le placement 2008 atteint un niveau significatif, soit 2 335 000 m² ce qui correspond à la 4ème meilleure année (supérieure à l’année 2005). La baisse des volumes commercialisés n’est que de 10%. Les transactions de bureaux de plus de 10 000 m² se maintiennent à un niveau très élevé, grâce aux acquisitions de compte-propre et à d’importantes prises à bail.

Thanks

Tony M Feb 16, 2009:
Not 'sales' I think it can't be called 'sales', since the context appears to be leasing; though I think the concept is that of 'sales' — "business we've done".

I don't believe 'market' is the right sense either.

Maybe you could use something like 'transaction volume' — or even 'transacted volume', if that can be said?

available supply

See the link below for a comprehensive bilingual document:

This document also uses the term "take-up" but I think that "available supply" is better in this context.

turnover

My reading ...
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : not so sure, R. I think we're talking leased office space here, and I suspect it might mean 'volume' in the sense of actual physical space; though then again, as they usually talk about 'surface', perhaps you are right after all!

space on the market

"space" is how we sometimes talk about rental surface, and it might be the right translation for "volume"; "on the market" in the same sense as Jenn Mercer's suggestion of "available".
Peer comment(s):
agree rkillings : in the sense of space put (or left) on the market in 2008.
