What is the difference between an office building and an apartment?

The difference between an office building and an apartment is:

1. The office building is purely commercial, and the apartment is used for both commercial and residential purposes.

2. The property right of the office building is 50 years, and the property right of the apartment is 70 years (the specific remaining years depend on the situation).

Apartment rent will be much cheaper. But the apartment is more limited, because the apartment is in a certain community and the office building radiates more widely.
