Which BERDE district type refers to privately owned and managed projects comprising multiple buildings with different owners referred to as locators?

• A. Campuses
• B. Community
• C. Residential Subdivisions
• D. Commercial/Commercial Estates

Answer: (B)

The question tests how BERDE distinguishes district types by ownership and occupancy pattern. A Community district is a privately owned and managed master-planned area that contains multiple buildings, each potentially owned by different entities, with various locators (tenants) locating within the district. The district provides shared infrastructure and services under a single management framework, while the individual buildings are not all owned by one entity. This setup matches the description of privately owned and managed projects comprising multiple buildings with different owners referred to as locators. A campus, by contrast, is typically tied to a single institution owning and managing most facilities. Residential Subdivisions are made up of lots owned by individual residents rather than a single district owner managing multiple buildings with separate owners. Commercial estates focus on commercial uses but are usually organized around a primary owner/manager rather than many independent owners within the same district.
