An appriaser has determined that a specific tract of land has three possible alternative uses. The alternative uses, cost to construct the improvements, and net operating incomes for each of these three uses is as follows:
Apartment Complex--- Cost to construct improvements $6,000,000
NOI $940,000
Office Building---- Cost to construct improvements $8,000,000
NOI $1,220,000
Retail Space------ Cost to construct improvements $7,000,000
NOI $1,100,000
If the appropriate building capitalization rate is 14% and the land capitalization rate is 10%, the the highest and best use of the site is
a. apartment complex
b. office building
c. retail space
d. either apartment complex or office space
