Also, please after the template is filled in with the appropriate numbers, answer the questions on part A and part B

PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS$-$EQUITY

APARTMENT PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

PART B

The investor$-$developer would not be comfortable with a $7\mathrm{.}8$ percent return on cost because the $$margin for error$$ is too risky. If construction costs are higher or rents are lower than anticipated, the project may not be feasible.

A$.$ Based on the fact that the project appears to have $9,360$ square feet of surface area in excess of zoning requirements, the developer could make an argument to the planning department for an additional $10$ units, $250$ units in total, or $25$ units per acre. How would this affect financial feasibility? What could be included in such an argument? Why would a public regulatory institution be interested in increasing density to $25$units per acre? Why not?

B$.$ Instead of $($a$),$ suppose the developer could build a $240-$unit luxury apartment complex with a cost of $$83,000$ per unit. What would such a project have to rent for $($per square foot$)$ to make an $8$ percent return on total cost? What risk factors would the developer have to consider?Site Acquisition Costs
