1. “While occupancy may be the single most telling indication of completion in a building intended to be used as a highrise apartment with a large public service area as an essential part of the improvement, we do not believe that this statement should be strictly applied to a structure planned and build as a “shell building” which is to be used for rental purposes and in which the interior space is to be completed, or finished, only when a tenant leases the space and where separate plans and building permits are required for completion of this space.”

2. “All property shall be assessed according to its just value as follows: (1) Real property, on January 1 of each year. Improvements or portions not substantially completed on January 1 shall have no value placed thereon. “Substantially completed” shall mean that the improvements or some self-sufficient unit within it can be used for the purpose for which it was constructed.”
