Hard to have any buyers, would be interesting to see who bites. Big plays won't touch this, small players??

57 units X 1000 sqf = 57,000 sqf

$715 sqf to $745 for land cost
$200 for construction?
Break even $915 to $945 psf

57,000 x $915 = $52.1 Million
57,000 x $945 = $53.8 Million

Assuming average selling price $1000 psf = margins not very good. 5 million plus (+- 10% for balcony space)

If selling at $1200 psf = margins also not very attractive. 16 million plus (rough estimate)

16/45 = about 1/3 ratio... I dun think there would be buyers.

Dun forget demolishing cost.
