Cost of Land per Buildable Unit or Total Gross Sales - Condo Development

We are looking at an off-market waterfront condominium development site in Florida to de developed into multiple condo buildings.

Here are some of the specs:

  • Fully entitled project - 5 residential pads which can build up to 275 units across multiple buildings ranging from 6-12 stories.
  • Pads have been improved with all underground utilizes stabbed to each site and the road in front of the pads has been graded but not fully developed or paved.
  • Approximately 510K Sellable SF
  • Estimated to sell condos at $400-800 PSF so Total Gross Sales could range from $204M-408M based on that PSF range.

Does anyone have any guidelines they use for the cost they would be willing to pay for land, whether it be on a price per buildable unit or a percent of Gross Sales?

Ex)  We would be willing to pay $100K per buildable units ($100K x 275 units = $27,500,000) or 10% of Gross Sales of $250M = $25,000,000.  Is their a formula that works for you?
