for example, the project is a large building with a commercial spaces on each floor that will be sold. the building is going for LEED-CS, but when the future owner of the commercial comes in, how can they achieve all 5 points under Case 1? They will have electricity utility meter in their own space, but they will own the space and will not be leasing space from the developer. Are they eligible to get that additional 3 points?

I think so. The issue of ownership is not really important. That they pay their own bills and therefore have an incentive to make improvements over time is what is important.
