Amazonia Co. wants to buy a 505,000-square-foot distribution facility in the outskirts of the city of Cool, CA. The subject facility is presently renting for $5.50 per square foot per year.

Based on recent market activity, two properties have sold within a several-mile distance from the subject facility. They are comparable in size, design, and age. One facility is 470,000 square feet and is presently being leased for $5.30 per square foot annually. The second facility contains 530,000 square feet and is being leased for $5.70 per square foot annually. It sold just a few days ago and is in very close proximity to the subject, which makes it three times as important in determining the subjects value as the first facility. Market data indicate that current vacancies and operating expenses combined should run approximately 68 percent and 78 percent of gross income for the two respective facilities, and it is 75 percent for the subject. The first facility sold for $10.9 million, and the second sold for $11.4 million.
