Multiple Choice

Which arrangement enables a corporation to assume ownership by using a developer to hold ownership until completion?

Build-to-suit is a development approach where a building is designed and constructed to fit a specific tenant’s needs, with the developer financing and holding ownership during construction. When the project is completed, the corporation can take ownership under the agreed terms, typically through a long-term lease or a purchase arrangement. This setup directly enables the corporation to assume ownership after completion while still benefiting from a building tailored to its requirements. The other options describe different arrangements. A triple-net lease is a leasing structure where the tenant pays most operating costs and ownership remains with the landlord, not a transfer of ownership at completion. A cost-sharing arrangement isn’t about ownership or development of a specific facility. A sale-leaseback involves selling the property to an investor and then leasing it back, meaning ownership shifts to the investor rather than the corporation holding it during construction.
