Owner A wants to make additional money from a 3-story building on a zone for a 20-story building. What can he do?

  1. Convert it into commercial space

  2. Sell his air rights

  3. Rent it out

  4. Sell the building

The correct answer is: Sell his air rights

Owner A is only able to build a 3-story building in a zone that allows for a 20-story building. By selling his air rights, he can profit from the potential for a taller building despite only being able to build a smaller one himself. Additionally, converting the building into commercial space or renting it out may provide additional income, but it does not address the potential for a larger building on the property. Selling the entire building would also not take advantage of the air rights and would not provide additional income opportunities. Therefore, option B is the best answer.
