I am not too clear on the definition of Gross Floor Area and how is the calculation carried out with respect to the CI requirement of alteration to at least 60% of the gross floor area.
I thought I remember reading something like it includes floor, ceiling, walls, etc. but I can't seem to find that reference again.
So for example, if the tenant area is an entire two floors with mainly an open office arrangement (moveable cubicle walls/offices), would floor represent approximately 40%, ceiling 40% and walls 20%? And if the raised flooring system will be reused but all carpeting will be replaced, how does that count on the flooring percentage?

Raymond, I don't think walls and ceilings are factored in here. I think it's more based on the SF of the building in which work is being done. See the rollover definition of gross floor area here.
