Commercial Development: How to decide what to build on a lot

[Rita Roy]

Hello Every one,

This is 1st purchase of a mixed use lot. I am looking to build apts however the city requires me to build some commercial which I have no experience with. I am looking for some advice on what commercial should i build on this mixed use lot (offices, retail etc). There is about 50' of street frontage.  What strategies or investigations should I undertake to help figure out the best commercial development. 

Thanks for your help in advance!
