Example Output
Feasibility Summary
Site: 2.5 acres, mixed-income residential, Downtown Zone A
Market: 7.2% annual population growth, 4-year housing shortage
Zoning: Max 120 units (4-story), 30% affordable required, 1.5 parking spaces/unit
Financial: $45M investment → 150 units @ $320K avg → $48M revenue → 6.7% ROI (20-year hold)
Timeline: 8 mo. planning + 10 mo. permitting + 22 mo. construction = 40 months to stabilization
Risks: Zoning appeal delay (+6-12 mo.), rising construction costs (+8%), financing (high leverage)
Recommendation: ✅ Go – Strong demand, solid financials, manageable regulatory risk
