We purchased an abandon building which will be renovated for both envelope, Electric, and HVAC. The problem is we will own only have of the building. the another half will be owned by the other firm. Since both renovation will share the same structure but will be separated by wall. (The project can be perfectly divided by half in plan) Each part will have its landcape and walkways. Can we submit only our part of the building and landscape for LEED-NC?
Thanks

Your situation would need to be carefully evaluated against the supplemental guidance for MPR 2. Shown above, there are many (yes, convoluted) caveats and exceptions to certifying an addition. If your scope of work fits the retrofit definition, LEED CI would be appropriate and you wouldn't have an issue with the MPR (as long as your portion is less than 60% of the total building sf). If LEED CI is not appropriate, Section III. above should give you the direction you need.

Does LEED Core and Shell must be owned the the building less than 50% of gross area? Can 100% of project owned by a single owner go for LEED core and shell.
