Model for Assessing Strategies for the Implementation of an Investment and Construction Project for the Construction of an Apartment Building by a Developer in Terms of Project Financing

Abstract

The need for improvement of the current mechanism of project financing for the construction of residential real estate arises from the analysis of the theory and practice of financing of the primary housing market. The use of the systemic approach has allowed the author to develop an improved mechanism of project financing, which comprises the principles of project financing, tools, forms of its regulation and methods of implementation of project financing. For efficient operation of the improved mechanism of project financing for the construction of residential real estate, a number of strategies have been proposed for the implementation of an investment and construction project, differing in design solutions, implementation period, marketing policy, rates of filling escrow accounts. The author proposes a scheme for a developer to choose project designs, which is based on the rules for land use and development and urban development regulations. A model for assessing the strategy for the implementation of an investment and construction project in project financing, taking into account the cost of a land plot, interest on a loan, selected design solutions, as well as the return on capital investments, was developed. In order to make a decision on the implementation of one or another investment and construction project for the construction of an apartment building, developers are invited to assess the options for design solutions and draw a conclusion about the most effective one according to the proposed model. The model can be used to assess the influence of the cost of a land plot in the structure of costs when the developer has a model project. It helps take into consideration project designs, the cost of the land plot according to the location of the designed facility, profitability of the expected capital investment and interest on the loan using escrow accounts.
