Duplex with 1 studio apt & 1 commercial office

Hypothetical: let's say you've got a deal for a home and garage apartment on the property. The home needs renovation but the second building is move-in ready. One caveat: the upstairs of building 2 is a great looking studio apartment, but the bottom floor is a very basic office space.

My guess is both will rent for the same. So do I keep the office space how it is and market to businesses, or renovate the bottom for another apartment?
