Explanation
Redevelopment potential exists when land value (based on its highest and best use) exceeds the contributory value of existing improvements. When demolition and new construction is financially justified, the site is 'ripe for redevelopment' and land value dominates. In Nevada's older commercial corridors (parts of Las Vegas Boulevard, old downtown Reno), properties may be valued based on land and development potential rather than as-is income. Recognizing redevelopment potential is essential for commercial appraisal and investment analysis.
