My client has an existing 500,000 sf warehouse structure constructed in 2005. The tenant recently finished a 10,000 sf office build out within the structure. The tenant wants to construct another 50,000 sf office structure within the warehouse and desire for it to be constructed as a LEED accredited project. I have researched, but it is not totally clear which certification program this would come under. Please clarify if it should be NC, CI or is it EB.

It sounds closest to CI. You could go through the most recent MPR Supplemental Guidance document stating with that assumption and see if you find any issues. One concern might be the difficulty of distinguishing between the certified office area and the non-certified area within one building - see "complete interior space" in MPR #2. If there is a clear and obvious "boundary" for the new certified space you might meet the exceptions on pgs 19-20.
