Office building

Explanation:

The formula to compute the return on investment is shown below:

Return on investment = Operating Income : Average Operating Assets

It is a mix of operating income and the average operating assets through the return on investment could be computed

Since the return on investment is already given in the question

And, the higher return on investment is the best one for property use

So the office building has a higher return on investment i. e 13.5% which reflects the best for property usage.
