A French real estate developer specialized in the upscale residential sector bought a parcel of land last year to develop a high-end project comprised of 100 residences in a well-known neighborhood of Cannes. The company paid $80M for the land and will develop, sell, and operate the residences.

Market study for the area suggests that the company could sell 30% of the residences on year 1, 30% on year 2, 20% on year 3, and the remaining 20% on year 4. Price per residence is expected to start at $5 million for year 1 and expected to increase by 15% per year for years 2-4.

The company will also manage and operate the residences for the first 4 years, which will cost 20% of the revenues.

Beyond the cost of the land, the investment cost to develop the project amounts to $240 million in year 0. The cost of the project is depreciated 25% each year, and it will require $10 million in working capital in years 1 to 3; the working capital is then reduced to 0 in year 4.

After the company has sold all the residences, it will stop operating them and no further cash flows will proceed.

The tax rate is 35% and the project's cost of capital is 12%.
