Real Estate Modeling Question

Dear Sirs,

Could someone please help me with the following questions.

A private property developer fund has been offered a site on the edge of a city (with a guide price of £8million) that has planning permission for a new retail park. The site requires £1.2million site clearance and infrastructure works (payable six months after acquisition); total construction costs amount to £16million payable in four equal six monthly instalments, the first paid one year after acquisition. The site will generate 15,000 square metres of lettable space. Current rental levels are around £150 per square metre and have been growing at 1.5% per annum over the last decade. The developer believes that the site could be sold to an institutional investor three years after acquisition. In today’s market, such investors are buying retail parks for yields of around 7%. The fund has leverage of 50% and can borrow at 7%; it offers investors equity returns of 25%. For such projects, the developer seeks a return of 15% per annum. Should the developer buy the site? What is the maximum price that the developer should offer? Set out clearly all assumptions made, annotate any calculations and identify any additional information that might help your analysis.

Thanks,
Ed
