English term or phrase: "Highest and Best Use"
Boa Noite.
Alguém poderia me explicar a que se refere esta máxima do mercado imobiliário: "Highest and Best Use"?

Desde já agradecido

Explanation:
How I hate the people who use this kind of language that is ambiguous to even the native speakers - the only thing that might apppear obvious is the sales angle...

"What are the relative costs per job under city acquisition/demolition/industrial use, versus reuse of existing structures? What combination of uses and which potential partners would enhance and serve the neighborhood while making the most economic use of the structures?

In considering mixed use, what are **the highest and best uses** possible?

Saving and reusing the site so that the original purposes of the Phalen Corridor Initiative (job production) and other local development projects such as the Main Street Project of the East Side Neighborhood Development Company (revitalization of Payne Avenue) may be supported. In considering mixed use, what are the highest and best uses possible? "

At the end of the day, it seems that they are referring to - optimum use - let's not beat around the bush....

Ailish,
Apesar das outras traduções terem sido, talvez, mais exatas, a sua resposta foi aquela que me esclareceu definitivamente o significado da expressão em questão aplicada ao mercado ou atividade imobiliária.

De qualquer forma, um muitíssimo obrigado a todos,
perdoem-me pela demora,

um abraço,
Élcio

"Highest and Best Use" in my opinion would stand for "O melhor e mais favoravel uso ou aplicacao."


Explanation:
I'm not very familiar with the term, however, the words "highest and best" seem to imply that the specific "use" or application is not only the best, but also the most practical or favorable.
