A Highest and Best Use study in Muscat helps determine the most profitable and realistic use of a land parcel or property by testing what is legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and market-supported. In Oman, this is especially important as Muscat undergoes major transformation through Vision 2040, the Greater Muscat Structure Plan, tourism growth, premium residential demand, selective office recovery, and infrastructure-led development.
An effective HBU study should assess zoning, site conditions, access, infrastructure, market demand, competing supply, development costs, rental and sales potential, phasing, and investment returns. It should compare multiple options such as residential, mixed-use, hospitality, retail, office, healthcare, education, logistics, or serviced apartments before recommending the highest value strategy.
