Site & planning assumptions (illustrative --- confirm with FCTA/authority)

- Gross site area = 9,950 sqm
- Urban net developable area (after setbacks) ≈ 85--95% (example uses 90% 8,955 sqm)
- Potential FAR (subject to zoning & approvals): conservative 4.0 --- higher density 6.0+ (confirm with planning authority)
- Illustrative GFA range: 8,955 × FAR 4.0 = 35,820 sqm to FAR 6.0 = 53,730 sqm
- Car parking: provision via podium levels / basement depending on approvals and final design

Illustrative yield & operating scenarios (indicative examples

Scenario A --- Mixed‑use (Retail + Office + Hotel)

- GFA mix example: Retail 25% / Office 40% / Hotel & Serviced Apt 35%
- GFA (FAR 5.0, GFA ≈ 44,775 sqm): Retail 11,194 sqm; Office 17,910 sqm; Hotel/Serv Apts 15,671 sqm
- Hotel: 10--12 sqm per key net + back‑of‑house ~200--280 keys (depends on room size & facilities)
- Indicative office achievable rent range: (market dependent) --- use local comparables to model NOI
- Retail yields higher per sqm with strong footfall & F&B mix; hotel revenue depends on ADR, occupancy and F&B income

Scenario B --- Hotel & Serviced Apartments Anchor

- GFA focused on hotel/aparthotel (e.g., 70% of total GFA) potential 250--350 rooms; F&B, event spaces drive incremental revenue.
- BOT operator revenue model: room revenue + F&B + events + parking + management fees; concession length typically 20--30 years to ensure investment recovery.

Scenario C --- Office & Retail Dominant

- Office GFA (40--60%) yields long‑term lease income from banks, corporates and diplomatic missions.
- Retail podium captures footfall from CBD and surrounding residential catchment.

Suggested BOT commercial structures (examples)

- Concession / leasehold BOT: developer/operator invests capex and operates asset for an agreed concession term (e.g., 25 years), remits fixed rent or revenue share to owner, then transfers asset in agreed condition.
- Hybrid: Upfront premium (to landowner) + annual concession fee + profit share for upside; owner retains residual land interest.
- Build--Own--Operate--Transfer: developer builds, operates and transfers at end of concession; during concession developer may be permitted to retain certain operating rights or revenue share.
- JV operating SPV: creation of a special purpose vehicle with owner equity, developer equity or financing partners; operating company runs asset under long‑term management contract.Key BOT commercial points to define in Heads of Terms: concession length, handback standard, maintenance obligations, insurance, permitted changes, revenue sharing, performance KPIs, taxes & levies, approved use and exit/termination triggers.
