05 / Scenarios

Base, downside, stretch. Side by side.

Three scenarios on the same healthcare project. No copied files. The decision is which one to take to investment committee.

Base case

base

Anchor pre-let, consult leased over 12 months.

  • Yield on cost5.45%
  • Spread to exit cap−30 bps
  • Equity IRR8.9%
  • Cost per m² NLA$9,050
Verdict

Below the spread the developer needs. Land or build cost has to come down.

Downside

downside

Anchor signs 1,800 m² instead of 2,400. Consult vacancy 12%.

  • Yield on cost5.02%
  • Spread to exit cap−73 bps
  • Stabilised NOI$2.73M
  • Equity IRR4.6%
Verdict

Returns inadequate. Project not investable on current land cost.

Stretch

stretch

Back-solve land price for 6.25% yield on cost target.

  • Residual land$9.7M
  • Yield on cost6.25%
  • Spread to exit cap+50 bps
  • Equity IRR13.4%
Verdict

At $9.7M the land works. The negotiation, not the build, decides this deal.

06 / Decision takeaway

Healthcare property looks like office on the inputs. It is not. Anchor covenant tightens cap rates and incentive contributions look like cost but buy income. Land price is the dominant variable.
