A 24-acre site can be purchased. The site is zoned for one-story office development. Zoning allows for lot coverage of 35%, (Paved areas count as coverage in addition to buildings in this zoning code.) and the project requires 165,904 square feet of pavement for parking and vehicle maneuvering. A general contractor quotes a GMP contract price of $110.00 per square foot, including adequate contingency and contractor’s fee. Soft costs, including development fee and contingency are $25 per square foot. Pro-forma rents are $20.00 per square foot (NNN), expenses are $4.00 per square foot and real estate taxes are $5.00 per square foot. An engineering firm will pre-lease 50,000 square feet of the building at $18.00 per square foot (NNN). It will take 12 months to build the building and a construction loan is available for 70% of hard and soft costs at an interest rate of 7.5% (interest only). Assume that the average percentage of the loan that is outstanding for the year-long construction period is 50%.
