Residual land value at three hurdles
Set 18, 20 and 22 per cent profit on cost and read the residual land value the scheme supports at each hurdle.
What Popurise does for you
Bid with the numbers, not after them.
Popurise gives acquisition managers a structured residential feasibility engine that runs at the speed of the pipeline. Bid scenarios, land price sensitivity and residual land value sit inside one project, on every site you look at.
Land price sensitivity in seconds
Move the land cost in a scenario and watch profit on cost, equity IRR, peak debt and cashflow move with it.
Two scheme variants on one site
Test four storeys vs six storeys, or a different unit mix, as scenarios inside the same project.
Bid ready outputs
Profit on cost, development margin, equity IRR and peak debt in front of you before the offer is locked in.
What is live today
Residential acquisitions, live in Popurise today.
Popurise is built first for Australian residential development. You can screen apartments and townhouses, run residual land value at your hurdle and test bid scenarios on every site you look at.
What you model today
- Site address, lot size, state and scheme intensity.
- Land cost, stamp duty and acquisition settlement timing.
- Construction cost, contingency, escalation and program.
- Statutory contributions, professional fees and selling costs.
- Debt and equity structure, interest and finance fees.
How it runs
From site visit to bid in five steps.
Every site goes through the same flow. The structure is what lets the team screen more sites without losing rigour.
- Step 01
Create the project
Site address, state and lot size. Popurise pre fills what it can.
- Step 02
Drop a scheme
Yields, mix, average sale prices and the timing you would target.
- Step 03
Test bid scenarios
Change land cost, scheme intensity or hurdle. Read the outputs in one click.
- Step 04
Review outputs
Residual land value at the hurdle, profit on cost, margin, IRR and peak debt on the same screen.
- Step 05
Make the call
Bid, walk away or keep watching. The project stays in the workspace either way.
Spreadsheet vs Popurise
Acquisitions deserves better than a templated workbook.
Spreadsheets are fine when you have one site and a week. They are not built for the pipeline most acquisitions teams actually run.
In Excel
The way most teams run it now
- Templates that take half a day to set up before they tell you anything about the site.
- Residual land value calculated once, on the deals that are already moving.
- Bid sensitivity tested in a copy of a copy of the workbook.
- Land team and development team working off different versions.
- No record of the sites you passed on or the reasons why.
Popurise
With Popurise
- First feasibility in minutes on every site you look at.
- Residual land value at three hurdles before the bid is locked in.
- Bid sensitivity tested inside the same project.
- One project carries through to development if the deal proceeds.
- Every site you screened is still in the workspace, ready to revisit.
FAQ
Questions acquisition managers ask
Can Popurise calculate residual land value?
Yes. Set a target profit on cost or development margin, hold the rest of the scheme constant and Popurise produces the residual land value that satisfies the hurdle.
Can I screen a site before I have full cost detail?
Yes. Use sensible Australian defaults for build rates, fees, contributions and finance, then refine the inputs you have a stronger view on.
Can I compare two different schemes on the same site?
Yes. Run them as scenarios inside one project. Side by side outputs, no duplicate files.
Does the screen carry through if we bid?
Yes. The project stays in the workspace. As the deal progresses, you add detail in the same record.
How do I test land price sensitivity?
Change the land cost in a scenario. Profit on cost, equity IRR, peak debt and cashflow update straight away.
Can I share the screen with our investment committee?
Yes. Export a branded PDF and a CSV cashflow. Hand them to IC, joint venture partners or your finance team.
