Many residential structures need to be ADA compliant.

Class A & B office leases are structured with a 95% occupancy gross up provision which allows the LL to pass through variable costs to the Tenant as if the project is 95% occupied. 

Of course, there are so many ways to structure financing depending on the specific situation.
