Definition: These include features of a building that you wouldn't expect to find everywhere. The more amenities a building has, the more likely it will gain a competitive edge in attracting prospective tenants. Common examples include a fitness center, business center, balconies, laundry room, swimming pool, childcare center, playground, and community room.
