01 — Assumptions
Make every input explicit
Organize density, area, pricing, rent, cost, timing, financing, and incentive assumptions with their sources.
Pro Forma
Keep the model tied to the site.
Build an early development pro forma from cited project assumptions and update it as the concept changes.
02 — Scenario model
Compare viable concepts
Test program, tenure, phasing, and entitlement cases without rebuilding the analysis from scratch.
03 — Returns
See what moves the deal
Review margin, yield, residual land value, and other decision metrics for each scenario.
04 — Sensitivity
Expose the fragile assumptions
Show how costs, revenue, timing, and density changes affect feasibility before the investment meeting.
