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.
