have to be made to recent sales, primary reliance is establishing the reuse value has been placed <br />on the use of the income approach to value. <br />The income approach is based upon the income and cost characteristics of the Project. For the <br />purpose of determining the reuse value of the land, the residual value can be defined as the <br />difference between the development cost of the Project, excluding land, and the value of the <br />Project (total amount the developer can afford to invest). The amount the developer can afford to <br />invest is based upon the projected net operating income revenue generated by the Project and the <br />value of the Project at completion. <br />The economics of the proposed Minimum Project must be determined on the basis of the costs <br />and revenues generated by the Minimum Project. This section of the report presents the estimates <br />of the development costs and revenues and the assumptions made to determine these estimates. <br />A. Development Costs <br />Development cost estimates are based on information provided by the Developer, Creekside <br />Associates, LLC. KMA has not conducted an independent evaluation of the construction costs <br />and KMA recommends that a signed construction contract be submitted to the Agency prior to <br />close of escrow. <br />Overall, it is important to note that, per the Agreement, the Developer is responsible for designing <br />and developing a high quality office complex with architectural and site upgrades and building <br />materials of higher quality than would typically be found in a standard office complex. The <br />Developer's estimated development costs are intended to reflect the costs to meet these <br />requirements. <br />Table 1 presents the estimated direct and indirect development costs for the Project. These <br />components are to be financed and owned by the Developer. As shown in Table 1, the total <br />development costs, before land, are estimated at $18.9 million, or $145 per square foot of rentable <br />building area. The major assumptions behind the development cost estimate are as follows: <br />■ The office shell cost, inclusive of office tenant improvements, is estimated to <br />average $95.50 per sq. ft. of net rentable area. The shell costs reflected are higher <br />than typical for a standard office complex. In addition, the Developer will build <br />out a 2,000 sq.ft. restaurant on the ground floor. Tenant improvements for this <br />space are estimated at $250,000. <br />■ The Developer's direct costs also include all on-site and off-site costs, including <br />site landscaping, the fountain/plaza and creekwalk, traffic signal and site <br />preparation contingency allowance. Total on-site and off-site costs are estimated <br />'J ^ <br />Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. <br />19096.001\002-002.doc Page 11 <br />
