Special Purpose

Special-purpose properties are real estate assets uniquely designed for a specific use, often with limited adaptability to other functions without significant modification. These properties typically include religious facilities, schools, theaters, sports venues, amusement parks, and transportation terminals. Valuing special-purpose properties requires specialized knowledge of the property’s operational characteristics, income potential (if applicable), functional utility, and the presence—or absence—of comparable market data.
