It is located in near West Acres Shopping center and Interstate 94. The location is near <br />an office park with commensurate structures. It has adjacent amenities that make it an attractive office site. The 2023 value increased due <br />to low sale ratios among office properties. <br />City of Fargo and Cass County staff viewed the building with the owner. City of Fargo staff examined the value with the cost approach <br />(5,370,000) and sales comparison approach (5,300,000). We find the current assessed value is not supportable based on our market adjusted <br />cost model and the sales comparison approach. In addition, the property is over-assessed relative to its neighbors, and others in its competing <br />property set. We recommend reducing the value for 2023. The sales comparison approach is summarized below. <br />Comparable Sales Summary <br />Address Size Size (Gross) Year Built Sale Date Sale Price <br />(with SPUN) <br />Sale Price <br />(Adjusted) Price $/SF Price $/SF <br />Gross <br />3050 Sienna Dr S 13,458 13,458 2011 09/2022 3,294,300 2,725,216 202.50 202.50 <br />4150 19 Ave S 31,543 31,543 2016 06/2022 8,579,700 6,727,433 213.28 213.28 <br />4340 18 Ave S 45,529 45,529 1995 08/2020 6,651,200 7,981,083 175.30 175.30 <br />2731 12 Ave S 18,320 18,320 1997 07/2018 2,757,700 3,627,680 198.02 198.02 <br />Subject 26,864 26,864 2002 5,300,000 197.29 197.29 <br />Competing Properties (Assessed Values) Summary <br />We studied current assessments of similar properties for equalization. The <br />search parameters are all office parcels built between 1992 and 2012, <br />located near the subject property, measuring 5,000 to 50,000 sf, with land <br />values between $6 and $12 per square foot. There are 51 such parcels in <br />Fargo. <br />The 2023 true and full value sits at or near the maximum of the competing <br />property set. We feel that the quality of the structure relative to its <br />competitors does not justify its position in the data set. <br />Value /SF Value /SF <br />GBA <br />Value /SF <br />Impr Only <br />Maximum 332 332 250 <br />90th Percentile 242 236 206 <br />75th Percentile 211 207 165 <br />Median 185 185 137 <br />25th Percentile 155 152 110 <br />10th Percentile 145 143 101 <br />Minimum 124 115 90 <br /> Subject 279.24 279.24 249.98
