There are several office buildings in the area which are leasing office space which ranges from $8.00 to $16.00 net per square foot depending on location. A summary of the sale and lease information is shown below. This survey shows that the sale price per square on the comparable properties that sold ranges from $118.04 to $146.35. This range is higher the market value per square foot of the subject property which is $105.49. This survey also shows that spaces leased to banks generally lease at a higher rate than standard office space. As a result, the main level bank space of the subject property should have a higher rate than the remaining space at the subject. Shown on the next page is a reconstructed NOI proforma that is similar to the appellants with the exception of the rental rate of the bank space. I have estimated the main level bank space at $16.00 net per square foot which is at the low end of the rental comparables. For the remaining office space of the subject, I have used the appellants $10.00 net per square foot which is reasonable. NOI Proforma Analysis Based on the income analysis above, the estimated value using the income appoach is $1,940,000 which supports the current assessed value of the subject property which is $1,895,000. Based on all of the available information, it is my opinion that there is no basis for a reduction in market value. Recommendation: We recommend that the board affirm the value of $1,775,000 for parcel 251770010 and affirm the value of $120,000 for parcel 259020211 for a total market value of $1,895,000.
