The typical transaction form in office building market is entire ownership transaction. However, there has been a continuous increase of transaction by using partial ownership in office market. Even though partial ownership transaction has some limitation on the owner's rights, it has its own merits such as required monetary resource reduction for investment, risk reduction in transaction, expansion of potential investors, enhanced marketability and so on.
