Development Analysis SummaryInfrastructure Costs
• Costs are high for raw, unimproved land.• Need to spread these costs across a greater number of
units to maximize efficiency & affordability.
What are the rents?• Rental income must be low to serve those identified in the
Needs Assessment.• Low rents = a smaller “mortgage” for the property• Project will need more grants and equity to serve those in
need
