I am coming halfway into a project that has been designed to LEED standards. All is fine except that the project planned for LEED for Retail:NC and I assume the project should just be under LEED NC. The existing building (major renovation) will house the factory, warehouse, distribution, and an office space. While the project still sales the candy to grocery chains, it does not deal directly with consumers. So should the project still pursue LEED for Retail:NC or just use LEED NC?
Thanks

It does sound like LEED NC is more appropriate than LEED Retail. I don't have the reference guide in front of me, but usually in the introduction there is a section that describes what are the kinds of projects that can use that rating system.
