None of the BOMA measurement standards refer to space by their market "class" nor do they refer to the location of a building within a given setting.
If an individual building is primarily office (51% or more), it is measured using one of the office standards (BOMA 1980, 1996 or 2010). If the building is primarily industrial, the BOMA/SIOR 2004 Standard Methods for Measuring Floor Area in Industrial Buildings is the appropriate standard to use.
In short, neither a building's class or where it is situated is relevant to it's measurement using BOMA Standards.
