Case Study Assumptions Help

Was given an open-ended office case study for which I'm supposed to come up with whatever assumptions I deem reasonable to come up with a returns estimation. If the case calls for 40% going in occupancy and stabilization at 90%, how should I think about modeling out the opex during lease up and after stabilization? Should I just use a fixed $/sf throughout (say, $10 psf, which sounds reasonable for a secondary market)? The case is largely focused on the qualitative highlights / risks, so it can be back of the envelope / doesn't have to be super precise. Any help would be appreciated.
