Would a high rise condo building (greater than ten floors) be considered LEED for Homes or LEED NC? I think they are thinking LEED NC, but wasn't sure if that could apply.

Patricia, there is a great table in the LEED rating system selection guidance (see link above) that will walk you through this. Most likely it's going to be LEED-NC, but there is some leeway for Homes Mid-Rise.

Per USGBC Rating Systems definition, "...New construction also includes high-rise residential buildings 9 stories or more."
