9. LCI Value-Added Framework
The core of LCI’s development framework is to align incremental cost to the overall expected
market value within each underlying exit strategy over a given period of time. The basic
fundamental notion provides that as costs are infused into a development project, incrementally
the asset valuations increase because of the improvement and build-out elements influencing
the environment. Through our value-added framework, LCI drives the gap between costs
and value to ensure optimal return on investment for a given milestone achieved.
