Jesse Rоsen оf Rоsen Development Compаny, is considering developing а 6-story LEED certified office building in Mountаin View, CA.  The property will consists of six floors of 50,000 SF each.  The property will be certified at the gold level with a green roof and photosensitive curtain wall.  Rosen Development Company has the option on the land to purchase the property for $5,000,000.  Before Rosen Development Company exercises the option on the land, Jesse wants to run a quick “back of the envelope” development feasibility analysis for the project.  Jesse is very experienced in the Silicon Valley markets and wants a 10% development yield to take on the development risk.  Below are the other assumptions he makes about the market. ·         Hard construction costs (material and labor) are $120.00/Gross SF (GSF)·         Soft costs are $15.00/GSF·         Rents are $40.00/Leasable SF (LSF)·         Operating costs $10/GSF·         Vacancy rate 5%·         Loss factor 25% Based on the information above, what is the projected development yield on the proposed project?
