Suppose you are analyzing a brand new 60-unit apartment complex set to open next fall across the street from the local university. You believe that under current market conditions, you can fully lease the facility at a rate of $1,200 per month. Each lease will be for a 1-year term, and general inflation is forecast to be 2 percent (per year) for the foreseeable future. A quick market analysis reveals the following information about similar complexes in the area: Complex Alligator Oasis Osprey Island Rent/Month Size (ft) $875 Age 900 17 $1,500 1,150 3 Black & Gold Bungalows $900 875 16 Sunrise Suites $1.250 950 6 Orange Grove Gardens $700 700 24 Pegasus Park $1,080 1,200 31 Given your prior knowledge and expertise, you understand that age may materially influence market rents.
