I am working on a mixed-use project which includes, office space, hotel, and some retail. We are in the process of choosing LEED CS or NC and are leaning towards CS because at this point the point distribution is more favorable for the credits we can achieve.
Are there any benefits for pursuing LEED NC over CS? I ask because the project is in the very early SD phase and changes can be made to accommodate either rating system.
I would appreciate any guidance.

Thank you.
