Review-ready reports

Development feasibility comes down to when money goes out and when it comes back

Development costs occur month by month. Construction debt funds some costs but not others, and interest grows as the loan is drawn.

The project may not generate cash until much later through lease-up, operations, or sale. That timing determines how much capital the project needs, what it is worth, and what investors earn.

PropertyMetrics connects the full project timeline in one model, from land and development costs through construction financing, project cash flows, exit, and partnership distributions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is property development feasibility software?

Property development feasibility software helps developers model project costs, financing, timing, revenues, value, and returns before committing capital.

PropertyMetrics is browser-based real estate development financial modeling software for commercial projects. It connects the development budget, construction financing, project cash flows, valuation, sensitivity analysis, and partnership returns in one model.

How do I build a property development feasibility analysis in PropertyMetrics?

Add land, hard costs, soft costs, and other project expenses, then time each cost by month. Choose which costs are funded by the construction loan and enter the loan assumptions.

PropertyMetrics calculates monthly costs, loan draws, interest, sources and uses, project cash flows, value, and returns as the assumptions change.

What types of development projects can I model?

Use PropertyMetrics for ground-up and value-add commercial real estate projects, including office, retail, industrial, multifamily, self-storage, mixed-use, and other property types.

The software is built for financial feasibility and development proforma modeling. It is not a construction project-management or accounting system.

Can I model development costs and timing?

Yes. Add land, hard costs, soft costs, and custom cost line items. Set start dates and timing assumptions for each cost so the development budget is reflected month by month.

Can I model construction loan draws and interest?

Yes. Select the development costs funded by an interest-only construction loan. PropertyMetrics calculates monthly draws, interest, the loan balance, and a detailed sources-and-uses schedule.

Can I forecast lease-up and stabilized cash flow?

Yes. Add rent rolls, other income, operating expenses, market leasing assumptions, vacancy, capital expenditures, and inflation. PropertyMetrics connects lease-up and stabilized operations to the development model and valuation.

Can I run DCF and sensitivity analyses?

Yes. Run DCF and sensitivity analyses and compare alternative development scenarios. As you adjust model assumptions, value and return metrics update.

Does PropertyMetrics support partnership waterfall modeling?

Yes. Define multi-tier waterfall structures with preferred returns, IRR-based hurdles, and custom LP/GP splits. PropertyMetrics calculates distributions period by period, tracks unreturned capital, and reports XIRR and equity multiples for the partners and project.
