highest and best use

Read a random definition: trade practice

A quick definition of highest and best use:

Highest and best use refers to the most profitable way to use a piece of property. This is important when determining the fair market value of the property, especially in cases of eminent domain. Other types of property use include conforming use, nonconforming use, and conditional use, among others. Some uses, like public use, benefit the public, while others, like exclusive use, give someone the right to use a specific mark or property without exception.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The most profitable use of a property, as determined by market demand and financial analysis.

Example: A vacant lot in a busy commercial area may have the highest and best use as a retail store or office building, rather than a residential property. This determination is made by analyzing market demand, potential income, and development costs.

Explanation: The concept of highest and best use is important in real estate valuation and development. It helps property owners and investors determine the most profitable use of a property, which can maximize its value and potential income. By analyzing market demand and financial factors, such as development costs and potential income, the highest and best use of a property can be determined. This can guide decisions about whether to develop or sell a property, and what type of development to pursue.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
