An acre 43560 sf of land in the cbd is being used as an


An acre (43,560 SF) of land in the CBD is being used as an open parking lot. The land currently brings $28/SF/year rent, paid in arrears, and the rent is expected to increase by 2% annually. The discount rate for the parking lot rents is 8%. An investment project that is being considered is building a 100,000 SF office building on the land. The construction will cost $2,000,000 and the building will have a 30 year productive life after it is built (after 30 years, it is assumed that the building can be demolished and the land can be converted to a parking lot without additional cost). The construction will take one year2 . The resulting office space is expected to be rented for net $22/SF/year (in arrears) starting next year, and the rent is expected to increase by 1% annually. The required rate of return on office buildings is 11%. Is this a good investment project?
