Frequently Asked Questions
What is highest and best use analysis?

Highest and Best Use (HBU) analysis determines the most profitable, legally permissible, and physically possible use of a site. Stonehaven provides HBU reports to help developers unlock full land value across the UAE and GCC.
What is the meaning of HBU in real estate?
+
In real estate, HBU applies to the optimal use of a property that results in the highest value, based on legal, physical, and financial feasibility. Stonehaven’s land use studies align HBU principles with local planning and investment strategy.
What is a highest and best use feasibility study?
+
Key components include financial projections, site assessment, planning compliance, buildability, demand analysis, and risk evaluation. Stonehaven’s feasibility studies are aligned with UAE and KSA regulations and real-world delivery realities.
What are the 4 criteria of highest and best use?

The four HBU criteria are: legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. Stonehaven’s HBU consultants apply these benchmarks to assess the true development potential of land.
What is highest and best use zoning?

HBU zoning refers to land use regulations that define what developments are legally allowed or restricted on a site. Stonehaven analyses zoning compliance and planning permissions to ensure land strategies are viable and approved.
