<br />To determine the potential implications of commercial or industrial property becoming tax
<br />exempt, property tax rates and values of several commercial and industrial properties within
<br />Arden Hills were evaluated. Building values vary widely, such as a low of about $12 per square
<br />foot for Flaherty’s Arden Bowl to about $78 per square foot for Walgreens at County Road E
<br />and Lexington Avenue. The building value takes into account the condition of the building and
<br />building class, which can explain the variation. Class A office space would be expected to be
<br />valued higher than an industrial building. Overall property values are more consistent, such as
<br />about $5 per square foot for properties within the Gateway Business district, to about $15 per
<br />square foot for the land at the Walgreen’s site. Though the variation is not as large as with
