Ground up developers tailor projects to their unique visions. In many respects, a vacant parcel represents a blank canvas, with a developer’s design plans limited only by structural, zoning, and financing considerations. This flexibility appeals to many real estate investors, as it allows them to align their unique vision with the land’s highest and best use. 

These development projects pose a significant amount of risk, but the flip side to that is, they also command the highest returns. A well analyzed and executed ground up development generally results in the highest returns of any real estate investing strategy. Depending on the deal, it’s not unusual to see a developer realize annualized returns in the 15-to-25 percent range (or higher).

Ground up developments also allow for a fairly flexible deal exit strategy, which appeals to many investors. Some developers opt for a fee-only model, where they have limited to no equity in the deal, instead charging a fee for development services. Alternatively, some opt for a develop-to-sell model, assuming all ownership risk until completing construction, at which point they market the property for sale to another investor. Lastly, some developers pursue the develop-to-lease model, with the goal of generating rental income following construction.  click for full blog post from High Peaks Capital

One significant advantage of building ground up is that banks are typically more willing to lend money for financing these projects than to refurbishment of Class C or Class B buildings. On a new development, there is a much faster “recapture period” (the length of time it takes to regain your initial investment). Once the construction is completed and the building is leased up, the developer can get a new loan in order to capture all its equity. This is considered a “loan-to-value,” based on the expected value of the new development’s net income, as opposed to “loan-to-cost,” which only factors in development costs. This is a brand new asset, and it will appraise higher than a Class C or Class B building with added value.  click for full article from Forbes
