The Five Points Development - Part V

The Five Points Pre-Development - Recommendations/Conclusions
 Sassyk Real Estate Development has researched and reviewed the necessary information based on the client's provided criteria and have in good faith, provided the following:

1) Site Analysis - Based on site inspections and site research.
2) Regulatory Analysis - Based on research from different regulatory agencies. 
3) Market Analysis - Based on research for local Demographics.
4) Financial Analysis - Based on projected Construction Costs of the Preliminary Design.

Based on these four main development criteria, Sassyk Real Estate Development is recommending a "GO" for the development of this project. The building site is highly visible and will accommodate a mixed-use development, which by conducting local interviews, is highly desirable. The lot chosen for this project - Lot 8 - is currently in foreclosure. The Unicorn Lake area is 85% completed, which makes this area highly desirable. The City of Denton has an "Open Mind" policy for mixed-use development. The local Rental Market has seen new Multifamily Development in the 76210 zip code area (Rent Rates average between $1.25-1.45/SF). Retail growth has been very strong in the Unicorn Lakes Development (Rent Rates average between $12.00- 20.00/SF). The Average Median Income (AMI) in the 76210 zip code area ranges between $89,000-91,000 per household. This income range supports this type of development. The Financial Analysis performed is based on the Preliminary Design and anticipates construction costs of approximately $275/SF. This is based on a Glass and Steel structure with adequate parking, paving, landscape and hardscape features. Year One return on investment - cash on cash flow (BTCF/Equity Investment) is projected to be approximately 24%. Lastly, the unseen aspect of the project from a social equity point of view: The local community is a vibrant, thriving mixed-use area that would welcome this type of development.

The Five Points Development - Part IV

The Five Points Pre-Development Financial Analysis 

Preliminary Development Plan

Lot 8, Block B - "The Parks at Unicorn Lake"


The Preliminary Design of the Five Points Development is a basic "4-Square" design, with a Retail Quad as a first floor complex. Each retail section measures 75' x 75' or 5,625 sq. ft. of gross floor area for a total retail area of 22,500 sq. ft. The second floor is a larger "4-Square design, with a Multifamily Quad, each section measures 95' x 95' or 9,025 sq. ft, for a total of 36,100 gross sq. ft. of Multifamily. These sections cantilever over the first floor. This cantilever serves as covered parking and encloses the center section walk-thru, going North to South. There is a 10' wide Courtyard that runs East to West, which will be covered above by an archway covering. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is calculated thus: 38,000 sq.ft./63,598 sq. ft = 60%. Ingress and Egress are achieved through the North and East access roads. In addition, the adjacent business has a concrete parking lot built to this lot line, giving further access at the South, where the curb has been cut-away.

Each Multifamily Quad will be sub-divided into 4-750 sq. ft. units, 3-1,000 sq. ft. units and 2-1,200 sq. ft. units, or 16 total 750 sq. ft. units, 12 total 1,000 sq. ft. units and 8 total 1,200 sq. ft. units for this development. Total Net sq. ft for Multifamily = 33,600

Each Retail Quad can be sub-divided as demand dictates. The building design is flexible in that the doors can be placed in different areas of the retail units to accommodate ingress and egress.
