Deal Thesis

6-story wood V-A over concrete podium: 3,500 sf ground-floor retail on Monroe Ave, 60-space podium parking, 48 units stacked above. TN-CC permits this massing on a 0.42-acre lot (effective FAR 4.0 within OD-DH-1 overlay). Form-based zoning allows 0.5/unit parking ratio; we hit that at 60 spaces total factoring retail (1.5 per 1,000 sf) plus 50 residential.

Why this scenarioDefault BALANCED scenario using engine-computed numbers for dashboard display.

Land Value (Residual) Solver

Holds the concept, rents, hard cost, and debt assumptions constant. Solves for the maximum acquisition cost that still meets the targets you set, accounting for the soft-cost ripple (loan amount, construction interest, reserves all re-resolve as land moves).
