You are an investor with 12 million cash to invest. You wish to purchase an office building with this cash. You have a choice between three identical office buildings that are located in different areas of the same city. The following information is available regarding the three possible investments:
						Building 1		Building 2		Building 3
Distance from the CBD (km)						0		5		10
Floor space (square metres)						1,000		1,500		2,000
Asking price (GBP)						8,000,000		12,000,000		11,000,000
Management costs (GBP per square metre per month)							15		5		10
1.		Commercial rent in the central business district (CBD) is 60 per square metre per month and decreases cumulatively by 5% for each kilometre located away from the CBD. Tip: Cumulatively means that, if the building is located 2 kilometres away from the CBD, rent decreases by 5% for the first kilometre (which gives you 57), and by another 5% on 57 on the second kilometre, which gives you 54.
2.		Building 2 has been certified as complying with sustainability standards.
3.		A suitable discount rate for all areas is 6%.
4.		There is a fountain outside Building 1 that you can persuade the local government to renovate by the time you purchase the property. Similar renovations to properties in the area have increased the rent charged per square metre by 3%.
5.		The local government will impose a 2% tax, by the time you complete the purchase of the property, on the sale of all properties that are not certified as compliant with sustainability standards. Ignore the effects of any other taxes.
