MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

Prompt: You have already chosen the company you will use for your final project, and you have started a narrative description of your expansion project into
another country. In this milestone, you will build on that narrative description providing sufficient detail about the expansion, its costs, and its time frame to give
a loan committee a firm sense of the proposed investment. You will also analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business by explaining why now
is the right time for this investment given the global context and by explaining how the investment is a good strategic fit with your company. This milestone
addresses all of Section II and Section III (Parts A and B only) of the final project.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
II. Investment Project: Use this section to describe the investment for which you are seeking funding, its costs, and time frame. Specifically, you should:
A. Describe the investment project. Be sure to provide sufficient detail to give the loan committee a firm sense of the parameters of the activity, the
need for it, and what financial metrics are relevant for determining success. In other words, what do you propose to do, where, what marketplace
need will it fill, and how will you measure success?

Prompt
Imagine you are a manager working at a publicly traded company. (You will select a company from the list below.) You have been tasked with preparing an
investment proposal for a large bank loan to finance a major expansion into another country. Your funding request will include both narrative text and financial
models designed to clearly explain and justify the investment proposal, how it will be financed, and its likely impact on the company. As support, you will show
the proposal’s most likely financial implications and the consolidated financial projection with and without the project. You should also consider risks—including
global microeconomic factors outside the company that may affect the investment’s success in the targeted country—and describe alternative financial scenarios
should sales exceed or underperform your assumptions.
Your funding request should be well organized, clear, concise, and free of distracting errors. Because business executives seldom have perfect or complete
information, you should base your proposal on data from authoritative sources when possible and make reasonable assumptions where information is not
available. As in real life, however, you must clearly specify your assumptions.
To begin, choose one of the following publicly traded companies. Once you have chosen your company, you will determine the investment opportunity for which
you are seeking funding as well as the country into which your company will be expanding: Nordstrom, Inc. into South Africa
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Executive Summary: Briefly summarize the key points of your proposal, giving the loan committee the most essential information while convincing them
to read further. Remember this is the first, and sometimes the only, section a selection committee will read in an initial screening.
II. Investment Project: Use this section to describe the investment for which you are seeking funding, its costs, and time frame. Specifically, you should:

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docxfelicitytaft14745
Assignment 1: Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 105 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Demonstrate an understanding of the integration of enterprise systems with inter-organizational partners.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in enterprise architecture.
· Write clearly and concisely about enterprise architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

HEA 610 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
An effective enrollment plan cannot be successful without considering the product offering, customer success, and financial implications. The product (courses)
and customers (students) are what drives an enrollment plan. The courses and programs offered by an institution define what the institution values and how it
responds to market demand. In most institutions, the product mix is a factor of the institution’s brand, the economic opportunities, and the forces that influence
student enrollment decisions. Nothing is without cost.
If a program or major is discontinued, that will affect the faculty and staff associated with that program. If majors are added, then new resources must be
committed to support them. In both cases, the product mix requires that the institution can respond to student demand. Keep in mind that sometimes programs
are kept, even with small enrollments, in order to ensure a diverse and robust general education offering, or to meet accreditation or other regulatory
requirements. None of these decisions should be made lightly and all will require compelling evidence to support them one way or another.
For this milestone, you will submit a robust projected outcomes analysis that considers the product mix, customer demands, and financial implications of those
decisions. The institution will be committing significant resources to the enrollment plan, so these decisions must be made with the best possible evidence of
value and return on investment. The projected outcomes provide the framework by which the institution will measure progress toward achieving its goals. Some
elements for the outcomes can include key performance indicators (KPIs) or specific and measurable metrics that indicate achievement of a business goal. You
should consider the costs for each step of the recruitment process and weigh them against the potential revenue. Generally speaking, the institution’s revenue
goals are maximized with graduates, not student starts.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Recommend programmatic changes in program offerings necessitated by indicators from your enrollment marketplace analysis and your strategic
enrollment management plan. Consider the following programmatic issues you could address, in addition to other issues germane to your institution:
What program graduates are a current career placement challenge?
Which program placements are projected as promising in the near future (based upon feedback and projections from advisory boards,
employment agencies, career services, market analysis, etc.)?
Given the market and strategic analysis, if it should come to pass, which programs are logical candidates to be discontinued? Which programs
that are not currently offered are viable candidates for inclusion or addition?
II. Analyze the impact on student achievement. Recommend policies and procedures ...

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docxfelicitytaft14745
Assignment 1: Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 105 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Demonstrate an understanding of the integration of enterprise systems with inter-organizational partners.

HEA 610 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
An effective enrollment plan cannot be successful without considering the product offering, customer success, and financial implications. The product (courses)
and customers (students) are what drives an enrollment plan. The courses and programs offered by an institution define what the institution values and how it
responds to market demand. In most institutions, the product mix is a factor of the institution’s brand, the economic opportunities, and the forces that influence
student enrollment decisions. Nothing is without cost.
If a program or major is discontinued, that will affect the faculty and staff associated with that program. If majors are added, then new resources must be
committed to support them. In both cases, the product mix requires that the institution can respond to student demand. Keep in mind that sometimes programs
are kept, even with small enrollments, in order to ensure a diverse and robust general education offering, or to meet accreditation or other regulatory
requirements. None of these decisions should be made lightly and all will require compelling evidence to support them one way or another.
For this milestone, you will submit a robust projected outcomes analysis that considers the product mix, customer demands, and financial implications of those
decisions. The institution will be committing significant resources to the enrollment plan, so these decisions must be made with the best possible evidence of
value and return on investment. The projected outcomes provide the framework by which the institution will measure progress toward achieving its goals. Some
elements for the outcomes can include key performance indicators (KPIs) or specific and measurable metrics that indicate achievement of a business goal. You
should consider the costs for each step of the recruitment process and weigh them against the potential revenue. Generally speaking, the institution’s revenue
goals are maximized with graduates, not student starts.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Recommend programmatic changes in program offerings necessitated by indicators from your enrollment marketplace analysis and your strategic
enrollment management plan. Consider the following programmatic issues you could address, in addition to other issues germane to your institution:
What program graduates are a current career placement challenge?
Which program placements are projected as promising in the near future (based upon feedback and projections from advisory boards,
employment agencies, career services, market analysis, etc.)?
Given the market and strategic analysis, if it should come to pass, which programs are logical candidates to be discontinued? Which programs
that are not currently offered are viable candidates for inclusion or addition?
II. Analyze the impact on student achievement. Recommend policies and procedures ...

PSY 616 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric: Strategy
Overview: You will prepare three graded formative tasks (milestones) supporting the analysis needed for the final product, a consulting case study and action plan for a real-world organization.
The three presentations will examine the problem in the organization (Milestone Two), the strategy to address the problem (Milestone Three), and a prediction of possible outcomes (Milestone Four).These will also be included in the final project as an appendix. These formative tasks will scaffold to the final product providing opportunities to apply organizational consulting concepts and tools in a real-world example.
Guidelines for presentations: The development of concise, professional presentations suitable for presenting to the leadership of a client organization is an important component of an organizational consultant’s role. For each presentation, the content should clearly address the specific goal. The target audience is the client, so the slides should be written in an effort to persuade the client to agree with your point of view. No matter how extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. When creating presentations, you will develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner.
1. You may use a product such as PowerPoint, Google Presentation, or Prezi to create your presentations.
2. There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Avoid distractions. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and subpoints to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
3. Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual.
4. Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
5. Be mindful of the intended audience.
Below are links that offer helpful tips and examples for developing your presentations:
· Making PowerPoint Slides
· Beyond Bullet Points: The Better Way to Use PowerPoint

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines
- Microsoft Corporation
- Heinz Corporation
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply economic theory to real-world problems facing organizations for identifying relationships and root causes
Recommend appropriate economic solutions to business problems for promoting organizational goals
Translate economic principles and findings effectively to diverse professional audiences for promoting informed decision making

ECO 520 Final Project: Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
This investment opportunity analysis project is designed to guide you through the process of applying key components of advanced microeconomics theories to typical
business decisions. You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you
will carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm strategy.
You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price strategies to support
product introduction. Using the above analyses, the last step in your final project requires you to model the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using
approximate figures. You will determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business
partners.
This assignment will assess your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze product demand, company revenues, and the effects of external market influences through the use of microeconomic principles
• Analyze organizational costs and identify technical and economically efficient methods of production and acquisition of resources through the use of microeconomic
principles and tools
• Evaluate the effect of market structure and consumer behavior on firm strategies and profitability
• Recommend pricing strategies based on marketing conditions, which improve firm profitability and can be effectively implemented
• Evaluate government regulations and interventions for their effects on business and market performance
Prompt
Develop an analytical document informed by key advanced microeconomic theories and principles. The purpose of your analysis is to assist with the decision to implement
a product or service for a start-up company (submit your product or service for approval to the instructor).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your analysis:
1. Opportunity Background and Demand: In this section you will identify an appropriate investment opportunity specific to introducing a new product or service. You
will analyze product demand and company revenues specific to this opportunity applying key economic principles to support your reasoning.

Three Historical Narratives:
Oral to Electronic Culture
Oral Culture – all interactions take place in face-to-face discussions.
Written Culture – a shared system of inscription in a literate society exists so that communication can take place outside of face-to-face discussions across time and space.
Print Culture – an expansion of Written Culture that encompasses the consequent social and cultural changes that result from the proliferation of printer material.
Electronic Culture – communication transcends time and space.
There is a different sense of time in Oral Culture, according to Ong.
Since there are no records, memory cannot be recorded. History
can only reside in the present, in the telling of the story. Memory
is thematic and formulaic. The story may vary very little from telling to
telling over time, but the words and phrases used may differ.
Performance is the key to authorship. Every time a story is told or a work is
performed, it is shaped by the performer and provides a new model for future performances.
Oral cultures are relatively homogeneous with respect to knowledge and social norms but public and shared across generations.
Written Culture, according to McLuhan , has been the means of creating
‘civilized man.’
According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.
According to Innis, electronic culture allows for a new fo.

As you continue your journey to become a higher education administrator, it is important for you to understand the enrollment management process within
higher education, including the techniques to attract, admit, and retain students. Irrespective of the type of institution you work for (private, public, or for-profit),
strategies used to attract and retain students need to align with the institution’s mission and strategic goals. Through completion of the final project strategic
enrollment plan, you will develop the skills necessary to develop the tactics for successful enrollment and continued retention of students, as well as approaches
aimed at improving student achievement and persistence.
By the time you complete your final project, you will have addressed the goals below. Please keep these goals in mind as you work through the course
milestones.
Goal 1: Enhance marketing, recruitment, and early outreach strategies from initial contact through first-day attendance and first-year persistence
Goal 2: Increase the probability of student achievement through the development of early academic and support strategies targeted for the student’s
first-year experience
Goal 3: Enhance academic programs and support systems in order to improve student persistence and student success
In your strategic enrollment plan, you will be covering the multiple enrollment periods relating to an annual planning horizon. You may complete this plan for an
institution of your choice in any sector of education (public, private, or for-profit—as long as the institution is accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S.
Department of Education). Through research and readings, you will gather the needed information to complete your plan. You will examine the tools for effective
admissions marketing, predict admissions yields, and assess how financial aid influences enrollment behavior. You will also analyze the critical stages of the
enrollment process, identify models used to frame retention, differentiate the fiduciary enrollment management responsibilities inherent in all enterprise
positions, and appraise the impacts that student achievement and quality of student life have on student persistence.

PSY 616 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric: Strategy
Overview: You will prepare three graded formative tasks (milestones) supporting the analysis needed for the final product, a consulting case study and action plan for a real-world organization.
The three presentations will examine the problem in the organization (Milestone Two), the strategy to address the problem (Milestone Three), and a prediction of possible outcomes (Milestone Four).These will also be included in the final project as an appendix. These formative tasks will scaffold to the final product providing opportunities to apply organizational consulting concepts and tools in a real-world example.
Guidelines for presentations: The development of concise, professional presentations suitable for presenting to the leadership of a client organization is an important component of an organizational consultant’s role. For each presentation, the content should clearly address the specific goal. The target audience is the client, so the slides should be written in an effort to persuade the client to agree with your point of view. No matter how extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. When creating presentations, you will develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner.
1. You may use a product such as PowerPoint, Google Presentation, or Prezi to create your presentations.
2. There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Avoid distractions. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and subpoints to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
3. Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual.
4. Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
5. Be mindful of the intended audience.
Below are links that offer helpful tips and examples for developing your presentations:
· Making PowerPoint Slides
· Beyond Bullet Points: The Better Way to Use PowerPoint
· Really Bad PowerPoint and How to Avoid it

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines

ECO 520 Final Project: Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
This investment opportunity analysis project is designed to guide you through the process of applying key components of advanced microeconomics theories to typical
business decisions. You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you
will carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm strategy.
You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price strategies to support
product introduction. Using the above analyses, the last step in your final project requires you to model the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using
approximate figures. You will determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business
partners.
This assignment will assess your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze product demand, company revenues, and the effects of external market influences through the use of microeconomic principles
• Analyze organizational costs and identify technical and economically efficient methods of production and acquisition of resources through the use of microeconomic
principles and tools
• Evaluate the effect of market structure and consumer behavior on firm strategies and profitability
• Recommend pricing strategies based on marketing conditions, which improve firm profitability and can be effectively implemented
• Evaluate government regulations and interventions for their effects on business and market performance
Prompt
Develop an analytical document informed by key advanced microeconomic theories and principles. The purpose of your analysis is to assist with the decision to implement
a product or service for a start-up company (submit your product or service for approval to the instructor).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your analysis:
1. Opportunity Background and Demand: In this section you will identify an appropriate investment opportunity specific to introducing a new product or service. You
will analyze product demand and company revenues specific to this opportunity applying key economic principles to support your reasoning.

evaluation with sources. For example, this is where you want to include rationale f ...
What is A Business Proposal?
Unlike a business plan, which is written to run your company and raise capital, a business proposal is an unsolicited or solicited bid for business. There are two types of business proposal that can help you gain more business to grow your company.
Types of proposals
There are mainly three types of proposal:-
1:-Business proposal
2:-Technical proposal
3:-Research proposal

Three Historical Narratives:
Oral to Electronic Culture
Oral Culture – all interactions take place in face-to-face discussions.
Written Culture – a shared system of inscription in a literate society exists so that communication can take place outside of face-to-face discussions across time and space.
Print Culture – an expansion of Written Culture that encompasses the consequent social and cultural changes that result from the proliferation of printer material.
Electronic Culture – communication transcends time and space.
There is a different sense of time in Oral Culture, according to Ong.
Since there are no records, memory cannot be recorded. History
can only reside in the present, in the telling of the story. Memory
is thematic and formulaic. The story may vary very little from telling to
telling over time, but the words and phrases used may differ.
Performance is the key to authorship. Every time a story is told or a work is
performed, it is shaped by the performer and provides a new model for future performances.
Oral cultures are relatively homogeneous with respect to knowledge and social norms but public and shared across generations.
Written Culture, according to McLuhan , has been the means of creating
‘civilized man.’
According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.
According to Innis, electronic culture allows for a new fo.

Measuring to Improve Medication Reconciliation
in a Large Subspecialty Outpatient Practice
Elizabeth Kern, MD, MS; Meg B. Dingae, MHSA; Esther L. Langmack, MD; Candace Juarez, MT; Gary Cott, MD;
Sarah K. Meadows, MS
Background: To assess performance in medication reconciliation (med rec)—the process of comparing and reconciling
patients’ medication lists at clinical transition points—and demonstrate improvement in an outpatient setting, sustainable
and valid measures are needed.
Methods: An interdisciplinary team at National Jewish Health (Denver) attempted to improve med rec in an ambulatory
practice serving patients with respiratory and related diseases. Interventions, which were aimed at physicians, nurses (RNs),
and medical assistants, involved changes in practice and changes in documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).
New measures designed to assess med rec performance, and to validate the measures, were derived from EHR data.
Results: Across 18 months, electronic attestation that med rec was completed at clinic visits increased from 9.8% to 91.3%
(p < 0.0001). Consistent with this improvement, patients with medication lists missing dose/frequency for at least one prescription-
type medication decreased from 18.1% to 15.8% (p < 0.0001). Patients with duplicate albuterol inhalers on their list decreased
from 4.0% to 2.6% (p < 0.0001). Percentages of patients increased for printing of the medication list at the visit (18.7% to
94.0%; p < 0.0001) and receipt of the printed medication list at the visit (52.3% to 67.0%; p = 0.0074). Documentation
that patient education handouts were offered increased initially then declined to an overall poor performance of 32.4% of
clinic visits. Investigation of this result revealed poor buy-in and a highly redundant process.
Conclusion: Deriving measures reflecting performance and quality of med rec from EHR data is feasible and sustainable
over the time periods necessary to demonstrate change. Concurrent, complementary measures may be used to support the
validity of summary measures.
Medication reconciliation (med rec) is the process of sys-tematically and comprehensively reviewing the
medications a patient is taking, to ensure that medications
added, changed, or discontinued are evaluated for poten-
tial safety concerns. One of the three current Joint
Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) on med-
ication safety (Goal 3), concerns medication reconciliation,
which ambulatory care organizations have been expected to
perform since 2005. The current version of the goal
(NPSG.03.06.01), effective July 1, 2011, stipulates that am-
bulatory care organizations maintain and communicate
accurate patient medication information.1 One require-
ment is that the organization obtain the patient’s medication
information at the beginning of an episode of care, with the
information to be updated when the patient’s medications
change. Ideally, med rec should occur at each transition of
care or han.

Measuring Performance at Intuit A Value-Added Component in ERM Pr.docxalfredacavx97
Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added Component in ERM Programs
ABC Organization is looking to improve on their Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. A board member saw Intuit’s ERM Performance Measurement Model case study. As with any ERM program, Intuit’s program has continued to evolve since 2009.
Intuit’s ERM program began with the company's practice of risk management on an ad hoc basis. When a problem occurred, team were formed to address the issue. When it was over, it was back to business as usual. In the late 2000’s, Intuit’s ERM program focused on building a sustainable risk management capability. The program provided leadership with current and emerging risks to help them make strategic decisions. Intuit built the program using a ERM maturity model to get the right foundation. It was realized that executive leadership needed to measure the performance of the program. So key risk indicators (KRIs) were used to understand the potential emerging risks and any trends that may impact current risks. Also, key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in understanding and manage current risks. By identifying these KRIs and KPIs in the, the case study reader should gain an understanding of the importance of and the need to incorporate these indicators.
As risk manager, you are responsible for ensuring your organization minimizes its risks. Your board became aware of this case study and has asked you to create a presentation for the next board meeting where you will present information about this case study and the effects of implementing KPIs and KRIs at Intuit.
Create a PowerPoint® narration report of at least 20 slides based on your findings about this case study along with the message that is delivered based upon this case (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides (free and accessible from Google.com). In the presentation, address the following from the Intuit ERM program:
· What represents the key performance indicators of the ERM program?
· What represents the key risk indicators of the ERM program?
· What improvements would you make?
· Does this represent an effective risk management program? If not, what is missing? (Support your response with details from the case study and properly cited references.)
· Would this program work for a publicly traded corporation of similar size?
· How important do you view alignment and accountability among a management team?
Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration. Written Parameters/Expectations:
· At least 20 slides in length, with each slide having a written narration in Standard English explaining the key ideas in each slide.
· The written narrative presentation should have a highly developed and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
· The written communication.

In his iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial for the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King urged America to "make real the promises of democracy." King synthesized portions of his earlier speeches to capture both the necessity for change and the potential for hope in American society.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [applause]
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves [Audience:] (Yeah) who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. (Hmm)
But one hundred years later (All right), the Negro still is not free. (My Lord, Yeah) One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (Hmm) One hundred years later (All right), the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later (My Lord) [applause], the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land. (Yes, yes) And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (Yeah), they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men (My Lord), would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. (My Lord) Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds. [enthusiastic applause] (My Lord, Lead on, Speech, speech)
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. (My Lord) [laughter] (No, no) We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. (Sure enough) And so we’ve come to cash this check (Yes), a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom (Yes) and the security of justice. (Yes Lord) [enthusiastic applause]

Measures of Similaritv and Dissimilaritv 65
the comparison between people will be dominated by differences in income. In
particular, if the similarity or dissimilarity of two people is calculated using the
similarity or dissimilarity measures defined later in this chapter, then in many
cases, such as that of Euclidean distance, the income values will dominate the
calculation.
The mean and standard deviation are strongly affected by outliers, so the
above transformation is often modified. First, the mean is replaced by the
median, i.e., the middle value. Second, the standard deviation is replaced by
the absolute standard deviation. Specifically, if r is a variable, then the
absolute standard deviation of r is given by oa : Dlrl*n - ltl, where ri is
lhe 'ith value of the variable, rn is the number of objects, and. p, is either the
mean or median. Other approaches for computing estimates of the location
(center) and spread of a set of values in the presence of outliers are described
in Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4, respectively. These measures can also be used to
define a standardi zation transformation.
2.4 Measures of Similarity and Dissimilarity
Similarity and dissimilarity are important because they are used by a number
of data mining techniques, such as clustering, nearest neighbor classification,
and anomaly detection. In many cases) the initial data set is not needed once
these similarities or dissimilarities have been computed. Such approaches can
be viewed as transforming the data to a similarity (dissimilarity) space and
then performing the analysis.
We begin with a discussion of the basics: high-level definitions of similarity
and dissimilarity, and a discussion of how they are related. For convenience,
the term proximity is used to refer to either similarity or dissimilarity. Since
the proximity between two objects is a function of the proximity between the
corresponding attributes of the two objects, we first describe how to measure
the proximity between objects having only one simple attribute, and then
consider proximity measures for objects with multiple attributes. This in-
cludes measures such as correlation and Euclidean distance, which are useful
for dense data such as time series or two-dimensional points, as well as the
Jaccard and cosine similarity measures, which are useful for sparse data like
documents. Next, we consider several important issues concerning proximity
measures. The section concludes with a brief discussion of how to select the
right proximity measure.

Definitions
Informally, the similarity between two objects is a numerical measure of the
degree to which the two objects are alike. Consequently, similarities are hi,gher
for pairs of objects that are more alike. Similarities are usually non-negative
and are often between 0 (no similarity) and 1 (complete similarity).
The dissimilarity between two objects is a numerical measure of the de-
gree to which the two obj.

Case Study: Privacy
CASE STUDY: PRIVACY
You are a reporter for WKRN-TV, covering local police activity as part of your beat. Your editor
tells you to get over to McGavock High School as quickly as possible. An anonymous caller,
saying she lives across the street from the public school, told a news editor she heard four or
five gunshots coming from the school building as she was outside walking her dog. Within
seconds, she says, students were running outside and screaming. A listen to the police band
receiver in the newsroom indicates something is up at the school.
You take a videographer and arrive on the scene about 1:30 p.m. Five or six Metro police cars
are parked near the school, and an ambulance arrives seconds later as you get out of your car.
The entrance to the school building is blocked off and police are guarding the area, admitting no
one except authorities into the building.
After questioning police, you confirm the fact there has been a shooting, but that’s as far as you
get. You begin asking bystanders for more information. A number of McGavock students have
remained at the scene. Several tell you a student was shot in a first-floor restroom. A girl who
claims to be a friend of the victim says his name is James DeVore, a freshman. She said she
thinks he is 14 years old. Another student says DeVore recently turned 15.
No one present knows who is responsible for the shooting. Minutes later police escort a young
man, handcuffed, from the school building. They place him in a squad car and drive away. You
ask people in the crowd if anyone can identify the alleged suspect. At least four tell you he is
Brian Samuels, a sophomore. You ask police at the scene to confirm this information, but no one
will reply.
Your videographer tells you she got footage of the boy being placed in the squad car. While
talking to her, you hear screams in the background. You run around the side of the building to
the loading dock area. Police have taped off the immediate area but you can see what’s going
on. EMTs are wheeling the covered body of the victim to an ambulance waiting near the dock.
Some students are crying. The videographer gets shots of the body being placed into the
ambulance and close-ups of crying students.
You approach several police officers standing near a squad car, hoping to get more facts. Inside
the squad car an officer is radioing into police headquarters. You hear him saying “the victim is
James DeVore, age 15.” The officer radios that the suspect, Samuels, has admitted to the
shooting. You also hear the following: “Samuels said it was it was payback, that DeVore had
sexually assaulted Samuels’ 6-year-old sister.” Because you are under deadline, you decide not
to interview the officers personally and head back to the station.
When you get back to the station, a colleague tells you he covered a story two years ago on
another in.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric .docx
1. MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an
external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-
ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must
continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those
decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the
costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational.
Others are longer-term investment decisions that require
substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic
markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs.
Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both
internal and external factors that can affect a company’s
financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring
your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an
external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded
corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial
backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within
the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact,
and the amount being requested
2. and why (including alternative funding mechanisms
considered). In addition, it will also need to include information
on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of
the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV,
Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect
the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should
demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected,
the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your
estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will
most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal
risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they
affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with
specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks
outside the company that might affect project success? Give
specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the
proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters?
How have you planned for
3. these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might
affect decisions about the proposed investment. Support your
response with specific
examples. For example, how competitive is the market you will
be entering? How elastic is the price for your product or
service?
4. Alternate financial scenarios. Use this section to discuss the
sensitivity of your financial projections to different scenarios.
Be sure to address:
a. How would your projected financial performance change if
sales fall 20% short of or are 20% higher than your base
assumption? What does your
analysis of these two scenarios imply for the proposed
investment? Justify your response.
b. What do the net present value, internal rate of return, and
payback values from your base scenario and the sales variation
scenarios above imply
for the proposed investment? Be sure to explain how the time
value of money affects your calculations and analysis.
Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: Your risk assessment paper should

Chapter 1: GENERAL CONTEXT
This report is presented to propose uses for a commercial
development sites located in Jamaica, New York. Specifically,
this report will focus on the following properties located in the
Borough of Queens, City of New York, County of Queens and
State of New York as depicted below.
10. Site Synopsis:
The following is a description obtained from Zola’s New York
City’s Zoning and Land Use Map of the site that is pertinent to
understanding the current parameters at this time:

11. 2418 SqFt
Current Site Use:
Upon research, all properties are considered mixed-use
buildings which are designated for commercial and residential
use. All properties are zoned under R6A and C2-4 respectively.
Properties located on 144-33 and 144-35 have a combined lot
area of 4,700 square feet and a combined gross floor area of
7,148 square feet. Properties located at 145-01 and 145-03 have
a combined lot area of 4,830 square feet and a combined gross
floor area of 6,576 square feet. The total combined lot area of
all properties is 9,530 square feet while the combined gross
floor area for all properties is 9,818 square feet.
The property currently located at 144-33 Jamaica Avenue is
currently within a building class that is specified as a
predominantly retail use site with other uses. The property
located at 144-35 Jamaica Avenue is within a building class
designated for residential (multiple use) - primarily two family
with one store or office. The property located at 145-01 Jamaica
Avenue is classified as a Residential (multiple use) - primarily
two family with one store or office as well. This building
currently holds a retail tenant operating as Jin Li 99 cent
department Inc. Lastly there is the property located at 145-03
Jamaica Avenue with the building class of residence (multiple
use) - primarily two family with one store or office.
Additionally, the figure above notates that each building within
the assemblage has 2 apartment units. This would justify the
residential zoning condition for R6A.
With the proposed development project that will be outlined
within this report, we are planning and developing under the
current zoning parameters creating residential and retail spaces
that the current Jamaica, Queens comprehensive plan intends to
12. implement.
This proposal will suggest based on current market conditions
and NYC planning board initiatives the properties located at
144-33 and 144-35 will become an Urgent Care offering lab
services, medical imaging, clinical and office space for
specialists of the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Entrance to
the Urgent care will be facing the south on Jamaica Avenue on
144-33. Medical office space entrance will be on the southeast
side of the building facing 145th. The properties located at 145-
01 and 145-03 will be renovated and will remain mix-used
buildings that will provide affordable housing and maintain one
commercial retail tenant. The locations 144-33 and 144-35 will
be a medical office, two story with face brick with concrete
block back-up / Steel Joists. 145-01 and 145-03 will also remain
a two story with face brick with concrete block backup and
Steel Joists.
Chapter 1- 1: ECONOMIC DRIVERS
Downtown Jamaica is experiencing rapid middle-class
population growth and is in the midst of a wave of private and
public investments in infrastructure, affordable housing,
hospitality, retail and industrial jobs. Job growth in downtown
Jamaica is currently centered on five distinct areas; industrial
related uses, construction, hospitality, retail and aviation
related. York College located in the heart of Downtown, just
south of Jamaica Avenue, was designated by Governor Cuomo
as a Start-Up NY recipient. It is the only such location in
Queens and the program is designed to attract businesses--
especially those in high tech, pharmaceuticals, aviation or
logistics to sites on or adjacent to the college. The mix of
13. growing job opportunities in construction, retail, hospitality,
aviation-related industries and high tech present a diverse range
of salary scales and job mobility.
According to the Office of the New York State Comptroller, the
number of businesses increased by 39 percent over a 20-year
period, much faster than the citywide growth rate (27 percent).
The local economy is closely associated with nearby John F.
Kennedy International Airport. Business growth has been
extraordinary over the past two decades, increasing by 39
percent. In 2014, there were 4,298 businesses, one-fifth of
which were retail.
Additionally, Queens is home to John F. Kennedy International
Airport and LaGuardia Airport. Moreover, the Landmarks in
Queens include Flushing Meadows-Corona Park; Citi Field,
which is the home of the New York Mets baseball team; the
USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, site of the US
Open tennis tournament; Kaufman Astoria Studios; Silvercup
Studios, the largest film and television production facility in
New York City, and Aqueduct Racetrack.
As shown in figure above, the number of businesses in the
Greater Jamaica area totaled 4,298 in 2014. This represents an
increase of 39 percent over a 20-year period, much faster than
the growth rate in the City overall (27 percent). While the
recent recession temporarily dampened growth, the number of
businesses increased by 11 percent between 2009 and 2014.
CHAPTER 1-2: DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City, located in
Queens County, State of New York. It is the largest borough
geographically and is adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the
southwestern end of Long Island. Nassau County is to the east
of Queens and it also shares water borders with the boroughs of
14. Manhattan and the Bronx. Queens is the second largest in
population size of the boroughs, behind Brooklyn.
According to the NYC Planning Department, the United States
Census reported that the population of Queens Community
District 12 in 2010 which includes Hollis, Jamaica, Jamaica
Center, North Springfield Gardens, Rochdale, South Jamaica
and St. Albans was 225.9K. The area and density for the district
is 9.6 square miles. WIthin those parameters there are 23,533
persons per square mile. Queens Community District is more
dense than neighboring communities such as Queens
Community 13 which consists of Bellaire, Bellerose,
Brookville, Cambria Heights, Floral Park, Glen Oaks,
Laurelton, New Hyde Park, Queens Village, Rosedale,
Springfield Gardens with 14,968 persons per square miles.
While New York comes in at a whopping 27,000 people per
square mile, the density for Queens still holds strong
indications that new developments and affordable housing
accommodations are a necessity for the population at large.
Queens is also the fourth most densely populated county among
New York City's boroughs, as well as in the United States.
The figure above outlines that the population for the Queens
Community District 12 has a higher female population at 53.4%
while the male population rests at 46.6%. The African American
population is the highest in the district coming in at 61.2% over
all other race origins. Within this population 42.7 percent are
foreign born.
15. According to the provided figure, 22.8% of residents are under
the age of 18 while NYC is at 21%. 12.7% of Queens
Community District 12 residents are 65 and over.The 30-percent
of income standard is a widely used and accepted measure of
the extent of housing affordability and it remains a reliable
indicator of affordability both over time and across markets.
The figure above indicates that for the rent burden 48.0% of
households spend 35% or more of their income on rent. The
District also demonstrates high ratings with access to parks
(76.0%) and Street Cleanliness at (94.9%). Daily commutes to
work average at 48.9 minutes.
Crime in the Queens Community District 12 came in at a lower
rate with 2,837 major felonies reported in 2017 compared to the
borough of Queens at 19,371 and all of NYC at 96,515.
Education in the District signifies that 21.0% of residents age
25 years and older have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher
compared to the borough of Queens at 30.8% and NYC at 36.7%
making this a very low number for the district compared to all
of New York.
The English proficiency of the district is very low at 14.3%
compared to all of Queens at 29.3% and all of NYC at 23.1%.
This signifies a very diverse and dense cultural mix within the
district.
There is a very high unemployment rate in the district at 7.1%
which is substantially higher than the rest of Queens at 4.4%
and all of New York City at 4.9%. This percentage indicates
that job creation, affordable housing and skill development
programs are very necessary within the district. Since 2010,
unemployment has increased by 2.5 basis points in Jamaica
compared to 1 basis point in the borough of Queens. Three
16. percent of Jamaica’s employed residents work in Jamaica and an
additional 1 percent work at JFK.
NYCgov Poverty Measure indicates a percentage of 19.0%
compared to all of Queens at 19.3% and all of New York City at
19.8%
The above figure obtained from Claritas indicates that the
Jamaica Queens highest household income is between $50-
$75K. The median household income for the Jamaica Queens
population is around $46,500.
According to the Claritas figure shown above dated in 2019, the
Queen’s 12 district’s household composition is predominantly
made up of 2 person households with no children/other. Overall
this information exhibits that the demographic is a young,
diverse family market: 41% families with children (married
couple or single parent), plus married couples without children
and a notable proportion of multigenerational households.
According to Esri, (which obtained housing types and rents
from the Census Bureau’s American Community survey) the
figure above notates based on the proposed site/properties’
zipcode that residents within the community tend to be renters
at 72.4% while homeowners make up only 27%. The figure also
illustrates that the typical housing is high-density apartments
and single families with an average rent of $1,191.
The average household budget index comprised by Esri
indicates what this market’s households budget for housing,
food, clothing and other necessities. The market predominantly
17. spends on apparel and services followed by housing, food,
transportation and healthcare.
Key Findings: This is a cultural community where families
renting apartments in older buildings dominate this market;
about one quarter of households have children. Over one-fifth
of households have no vehicle, typically those living in the city.
Workers are mainly employed in white collar and service
occupations (especially food service and building maintenance).
One-fifth of workers commute using public transportation and
more walk or bike to work than expected. Median household
income is lower, but home values are higher, reflecting the
metropolitan areas in which they live. Consumers are attentive
to personal style; purchases reflect their youth and their
children.
Chapter 1-3: GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
With respect to retail, Jamaica Avenue presents classic
attributes of retail friendly thoroughfares. From the 1940’s-
1970’s, Jamaica was the shopping center for both Queens and
Long Island with three major department stores located in the
Downtown. Located in high-density areas of heavy pedestrian
foot traffic, retail rents have been rising to reflect the ongoing
revitalization of the Downtown. Well-known and nationally
recognized retailers such as Burlington Coat Factory, TJ Maxx,
H&M and Old Navy have either recently entered the Downtown
or committed to its future. The Downtown Jamaica District is
receiving interest from national/regional retail chains and the
Greater Jamaica Development Corporation is working with the
three BIDS to diversify the retail corridor.
The figure above demonstrates that the vacancy rate, after a
recent peak of 7%, has declined to 3.8%. Rents average $72.28
per square foot, up over 100% from 2012 and are among the
highest rates in Queens.
18. Downtown Jamaica is a bustling hub of living, working,
shopping, and learning, with the most active uses concentrated
along Jamaica and Archer Avenues between Sutphin Boulevard
and 168th Street. Retail and office uses are predominantly
located along Jamaica and Hillside avenues, Sutphin Boulevard,
and at the165th Street Mall. 11,400 housing units,8 primarily in
buildings containing 20 units or more, are within the Core
Downtown; whereas surrounding neighborhoods consist largely
of one- and two-family homes, Downtown Jamaica is
predominated by six- to eight-story multifamily structures, with
a significant concentration around Rufus King Park.
Institutional and public facilities are also a dominant use
Downtown, with the largest being York College, which is
located south of the LIRR tracks. Despite the increase in the
number of rental units, housing affordability is a major
problem. The median monthly rent rose from $700 in 2002 to
$1,275 by 2014. In Queens the rental vacancy rate was 3.5%.
The chart above illustrates that rents for market-rate units are
currently listed at $1,625 for a studio, $1,925 for a one-bedroom
unit, and $2,550 for a two-bedroom unit. Across all units, rents
in multifamily buildings are approximately $28 per square foot,
having recovered to 2007 levels following a decline during the
Great Recession.
Chapter 1-4: EMPLOYERS
According to Labor statistics for the New York City region.
Private sector jobs in New York City rose over the year by
55,100, or 1.4 percent, to 4,071,300 in October 2019. Gains
were greatest in educational and health services (+37,500),
professional and business services (+22,600), trade,
transportation, and utilities (+8,400), and other services
19. (+2,200). Losses were reported in natural resources, mining,
and construction (-6,200), financial activities (-5,700), leisure
and hospitality (-2,300), and manufacturing (-1,400). The
information sector was unchanged for the month. Major
employers in New York are the following:
Major job-creating projects and initiatives are underway for a
wide range of opportunities, all of which are either in the
Downtown core or are easily accessible to it. As a result of
significant past investment from the public sector, Jamaica is
poised to undertake substantial job growth and significant
community revitalization. As we look at the Jamaica, Queens
area here were our findings on current top employers:
Major employers outlined by the figure above indicated that the
following major employers in Jamaica, Queens are the
following in ranking order: Jamaica Hospital, State Supreme
Court, Queens Civil Court, NYC Police Dept./Forensic Lab,
New Queens Family Court, US FDA Lab, York College, Social
Security Administration, and lastly the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Most local job growth has occurred in the administrative, health
care, and retail sectors, which (with transportation) represent
nearly all new jobs created in Downtown Jamaica between 2002
and 2014 and reflect the importance of major local employers,
listed in the figure above.
According to the Downtown Jamaica Revitalization Initiative as
they look forward, it is stated that there are several sectors that
are expected to represent growth opportunities for Downtown
employment based on recent and expected activity, including:
Health & Life Sciences: Health care-related jobs in the Core
Downtown have grown 30% between 2002 and 2014, and
20. Jamaica Hospital, the FDA, and York College (which offers
numerous health care-related degree programs and
certifications, and recently launched graduate programs in
pharmaceutical science and physician assistant certification)
provide the foundation for future growth. Statewide, health care
jobs are projected to grow by an additional 20% over the next
decade, with similar trends expected in New York City, making
health-care one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy.
This poses well for our proposed site development creating jobs
and contributing to the growth of the Jamaica Queens industry
tapestry.
Hospitality & Food Services: Jamaica has seen a boom in hotel
development since the completion of the AirTrain and the 2007
rezoning. Several major hotels are in development, including
approximately 675 rooms in the blocks surrounding Jamaica
Station. In total, over 2,000 new hotel rooms are planned to
come online in Downtown Jamaica, which could support
between 1,000 and 1,500 new direct jobs in addition to the
existing 800+ jobs already in the hospitality industry.
Location Quotients
According to a 2017 report from the New York State
Department of Labor, the following LQ’s were established for
Queen’s County of New York. The top 3 LQ’s for Queens
County employment (greater than 1.00) were the following
industries: Unclassified Services (Employment LQ 5.34 and
total wage LQ 2.97) employed 6,635 with an average annual
total wages of $180,567,225. Construction (Employment LQ
1.66 and total wage LQ 2.27) was the second highest which
employed 50,681 with annual total wages of $3,843,517,078.
Third ranking industry is Educational/Health Services (
Employment LQ 1.49 and total wage LQ 1.35) employed
21. 147,193 with average annual total wages coming at
$6,083,058,194. These figures indicate that these industries are
producing more than is consumed locally (exporting). The LQ’s
are also relative to the United States.
On the State level, the New York Department of Labor reports
that at 3.29, securities, commodity contracts and investments
has the highest statewide LQ. This industry is very important to
the state. Not only did this industry employ almost 195,000 in
2016, it also paid salaries averaging almost $360,000.
Nationally, more than one out of every five workers in this
sector are employed in New York State. Other information
services recorded a strong LQ of 2.78. Industries in this
category are primarily news syndicates, libraries, archives,
exclusive internet publishing and/or broadcasting and web
search portals. These businesses combined employed more than
47,000 in 2016, with an average annual wage of $139,080.
Transit and ground passenger transportation ranked third with
an LQ of 2.33. While this industry is active in every region of
the state, jobs are mostly concentrated in the downstate region.
The state employs more than 15% of the nation’s transit and
ground transportation workers.
Noteworthy Findings:
The Jamaica, Queens area had the second-highest average
commute time among the City’s 55 Censusdefined
neighborhoods (50 minutes). Nearly 43 percent of the residents
had a commute of an hour or longer, well above the average for
Queens (29 percent). About half of the residents were employed
as office workers or held jobs in health care, retail or
transportation. The most common occupation was home health
aide. Almost 12 percent of the residents worked as teachers and
first responders, such as corrections officers, police officers and
22. security guards. Jamaica had the largest number (and the second
highest concentration) of protective service workers among the
City’s 55 neighborhoods.
Chapter 2: PROJECT VISION AND PROPOSED USE
Through research and the ultimate goal of New York City and
Jamaica Queens’ comprehensive plans along with the strong
indicators within the demographic and employment sectors, we
would propose to convert and combine the buildings located at
144-33 and 144-35 to become an Urgent Care offering lab
services, medical imaging, clinical and office space for
specialists of the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. An
increased plottage value by combining two parcels side by side
will increase the value of the current property sites creating
larger retail space and more office spaces.
The properties located at 145-01 and 145-03 will be renovated
and will remain mix-used buildings that will provide affordable
housing and maintain one commercial retail tenant. In the
economic development strategy for the New York State’s
Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) they seek to
“transform communities ripe for development into vibrant
neighborhoods where the next generation of New Yorkers will
want to live, work, and raise a family.
According to Jamaica Survey respondents, the highest response
came with the improvement of storefronts, dining and retail
business. Our proposed use target the top three needs of the
community at large. Providing an Urgent Care, medical offices
and affordable housing and high traffic retail space contributes
to the very essence of the downtown Jamaica, Queens tapestry.
23. 144-33 (Property 1) and 144-35 (Property 2)
(Visualization)
The most viable locations for urgent care use are accessible to
dense populations exhibiting key demographics with a
propensity for urgent care services, heavy traffic counts and a
strong retail/service draw. Jamaica, Queens and the site location
for this proposed development hits all the targets needed for the
project’s success and viability.

Chapter 2-1 COMPARABLE ANALYSIS
There are three properties that were selected to conduct a
comparable analysis. The analysis consists of the following
addresses:
90-28 SUTPHIN BOULEVARD
This property is located in Jamaica, Queens and has the
identical building status as a two family dwelling with
commercial and retail use. With 3,000 square feet and sold at
2,000,000 in February 2019, the asking rent per square foot was
estimated at $1.33. There has been a rent increase since the
purchase of the property by $228.00 per month.
149-13 JAMAICA AVENUE
This property is located in Jamaica, Queens and has the
identical building status as a two family dwelling with
commercial and retail use. With 2,550 square feet and sold at
$1,550,000 in July 2019, the asking rent per square foot was
estimated at $1.21. There has been a rent decrease since the
purchase of the property by $74.00/month.
144-15 HILLSIDE AVENUE
This property is located in Jamaica, Queens and has the
identical building status as a two family dwelling with
commercial and retail use. With 3,024 square feet and sold at
27. $7,150,000 in February 2019, the asking rent per square foot
was estimated at $1.37. There has been a rent increase since the
purchase of the property by $87.00 per month.
The vacancy rate for private non-regulated units (were never
rent-controlled or rent stabilized, were decontrolled, including
those in buildings with five or fewer units, and unregulated
units in cooperative or condominium buildings) was 6.07%.
The figure above from the New York City Comptroller’s Office,
illustrates the vacancy rate for Jamaica Queens retail which
includes the aforementioned comparables. In 2017 the total
retail area was 2.4 million square feet. The vacant retail spaces
were 95 which equates to 7.05%
The figure above from the New York City Comptroller’s Office,
illustrates the retail rental rate for New York City including
Queens which includes the aforementioned comparables.
Average retail rents increased 22 percent citywide in the past
decade.
Chapter 3: REGULATORY / ZONING PUBLIC APPROVAL
PROCESS
The subject properties are designated under the following
multiple zoning designations as Property Zoning Districts: R6A
& C2-4. Details for each of these designations can be found
below:
R6A Zoning Designation:
28. R6A is a contextual district.Contextual Zoning Districts are
meant to promote uniformity in the neighborhoods they are
zoned in. This results in shorter low rise buildings with large
footprints. In Contextual Zone R6A developments are required
to follow the Quality Housing Program Regulations. The
Quality Housing Program (“QHP”) is common in R6 zones but
is mandatory in R6A zones, as well as R6B zones. The QHP
promotes shorter wider buildings that would fit into their
surroundings. QHP additionally encourages better ground-floor
retail and residential spaces together with apartments with
adequate ceiling heights.
With a R6A designation, properties consist of multifamily
buildings that can be a walk-up property with no elevator or
medium sized apartment building. A designation of R6A
restricts the development of only residential buildings or
community facility buildings unless the property has an
additional commercial overlay designation. Each of the subject
properties have a commercial overlay designation of C2-4.
C2-4 Commercial Overlay Designation:
There are eight basic types of Commercial Districts, ranging
from C1 to C8, which can be grouped into three general types:
neighborhood, general and specialty. C1 and C2 Districts New
York’s residential neighborhoods often contain streets or areas
lined with a broad mix of commercial uses containing the
variety of retail shops and other businesses that primarily serve
a neighborhood’s commercial needs. These uses are frequently
found either in one- to two-story commercial buildings or on the
lower floors of mixed buildings
The designation of C2-4 is a sub-district of C2 Commercial
Overlay. Certain residential districts will have a commercial
overlay which means that there is an underlying residential zone
but the commercial overlay allows the development of a
commercial use or the ability to develop a mixed use building.
29. See figure below for Commercial Overlays which are depicted
as follows:

Parking Requirement - 144-35 & 144-33 Jamaica Avenue:
In connection with the properties designated as 144-35 & 144-
33 Jamaica Avenue, these lots are intended to be an Urgent Care
and Medical Offices. The Zoning Resolution defines Medical
Offices as a Community Facility Use as designated under Use
Group 4 titled “Ambulatory diagnostic or treatment health care
facilities.” Pursuant to the Zoning Resolution, Article III,
Chapter 6, Section 36-21, a Community Facility Use under Use
Group 4, in Districts R6 generally, require 1 parking space for
every 1000 sq ft of floor area (“buildable sq ft”).
The aggregate buildable sq ft for 144-35 & 144-33 Jamaica
Avenue total 7140 sq ft which if divided by 1000 sq ft results in
a requirement of 7.1 parking spaces (see table below).
Source: NYC Planning, Zoning Resolution. Article III, Chapter
6, Section 36.21
However, pursuant to Article II, Chapter 5, Section 25-261 the
parking requirement is waived for in R6 districts up to a
maximum number of 5 spaces. This results in a waiver of the
entire requirement to provide parking.
Parking Requirement - 145-01 & 145-03 Jamaica Avenue:
In connection with the properties designated as 145-01 & 145-
03 Jamaica Avenue, which are intended to be renovated and will
remain mix-used buildings that will provide affordable housing
and maintain one commercial retail tenant, the parking
requirement, pursuant to the Zoning Resolution, under Article
II, Chapter 5, Section 25-241 reveals that in R6 districts zones,
lot areas that are 10,000 sq ft or less require that 50% of the
dwelling units receive parking (see table below).
The aggregate lot area sq ft for 145-01 & 145-03 Jamaica
30. Avenue total 4830 sq ft and there are a total of 4 residential
units in 145-01 & 145-03 Jamaica Avenue combined. This
would require that at least 50% of the 4 units (or 2 units)
receive parking. However, pursuant to Article II, Chapter 5,
Section 25-261 the parking requirement is waived for in R6
districts up to a maximum number of 5 spaces. This results in a
waiver of the entire requirement to provide parking (see table
below).
Source: NYC Planning - Zoning Resolution. Article II, Chapter
3, Section 23-153
Maximum Floor Area Ratio:
The floor area ratio (FAR) in R6A districts is 3.0. The subject
properties include two corner lots (lots 33 and 38) and two
interior lots (lots 35 and 37). In the districts designated for
Quality Housing buildings, the maximum floor area ratio and
maximum residential lot coverage for interior lots are 65% as
set forth in the table above. And, pursuant to Article II, Chapter
3, Section 23.153, the maximum residential lot coverage for a
corner lot shall be 100% percent.
Maximum Height of Building and Setbacks:
Source: NYC Dept. of City Planning
(https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/zoning/districts-
tools/r6.page)
The figure above reveals that there is a minimum base height of
40 feet, maximum of 60 feet or 65 feet if providing a Qualified
Ground Floor (GQF). Once reaching this height, the building
must set back by at least 10 feet on a wide street and 15 feet on
a narrow street before rising to its maximum height of 70 feet,
or 75 feet if providing aQGF. To preserve the traditional
streetscape, the street wall of a new building can be no closer to
the street line than any adjacent street wall, but need not be
farther than 10 feet.
Additionally, in the subject property known as 145-01 & 145-03
31. Jamaica Avenue in which affordable housing will be developed,
the Zoning Resolutions allow for an increase in the FAR to a
maximum of 3.60 FAR. Known as “Inclusionary Housing”
under the Zoning Resolution, the Inclusionary Housing Program
gives incentives in exchange for the creation of preservation of
affordable housing, pursuant to Article II, Chapter 3, Section
23-154(b). Pursuant to Article II, Chapter 4, Section 24-35
related to R6 districts, no side yards are required and in Section
24-36 of the same Article and Chapter, no less than 30 feet rear
yard setbacks are required.
Below is an illustration of the setbacks and height restrictions:
Zoning Application Process:
The process for changing the designated zoning on a lot within
a district can be a very long process in NYC and can take up to
twelve months to complete. The basic process and time
required are detailed below:
· Start with Initial Analysis of Current Lot(s): Prior to
beginning the process of making a change to the designated
zoning on a particular lot, a thorough analysis must be
completed on the lot to understand what the lot is currently
zoning and the structures allowed to be built on the lot pursuant
to the zoning. The analysis can be done by reviewing various
zoning websites and materials including Zola, Zola Handbook
and Zoning Resolution. Additional help can be provided by
representatives of the NYC Zoning and Planning Department.
· Informational Meetings & Pre-Application Process: A meeting
must be scheduled with the designated borough office to discuss
the scope of the project that is being proposed for the subject
lot. Prior to the meeting a checklist will be provided that
details the materials that should be obtained for the meeting.
Additionally, a Pre-Application Statement must be completed
which details the proposed project. Further, an Interdivisional
Meeting with an assigned Department of City Planning (“DCP”)
32. staff member will be an opportunity to present the proposed
project. Moreover, once reviewed by DCP, a Reasonable Worst
Case Development Scenario (RWCDS) memo will be issued by
the City Planning Department which is an analysis framework
used to determine the required environmental process that must
be completed by the proposed sponsor inquiring to make a
change/amendment to the designated zoning for the subject
property.
1. ULURP Application & Environmental Impact Statement and
Certification of Application: After the initial meeting and pre-
application process, the sponsor of the project begins to prepare
an environmental impact statement, which details how the
project would affect its surroundings. The submission of an
environmental impact statement is a requirement pursuant to the
State Environment Quality Review Act (SEQRA) of 1975 and
the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) are the City
rules through which NYC implements SEQRA. The purpose of
CEQR is to review the statement to identify any potential
adverse environmental effects of proposed actions, assesses
their significance, and proposes measures to eliminate or
mitigate significant impacts. The draft of the environmental
impact statement and the draft of the Land Use Application,
together with all attached materials, will go through the
Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) process. The
environmental impact statement and ULURP application is
reviewed by the City Planning Commission (CPC), who have
the Department of City Planning (DCP) as staff.
a. Copies of the impact statement, land use application and
materials are sent to the Borough President, Community Board
and the City Council within five (5) business days of the receipt
of the application.
b. Comments by the CPC and DCP staff are reverted back to the
sponsor of the project for correction/updating. Comments can
33. include requested certain changes to the application, documents,
or reports submitted.
c. Once the application has been reviewed and subsequently
revised pursuant to all comments, the application is then
certified as being approved to then be able to move on to the
next step in the process (note: if after six (6) months, the
application has not yet been approved to move to the next steps,
a sponsor can submit an appeal to the CPC).
2. Community Board Review: After the application has been
certified as approved, the local community board has two (2)
months to review the application. The community board will
notify the public by holding a public hearing. Then submits
their recommendations to CPC and the Borough President. If
after two months the community board does not submit any
recommendations, the application will continue to move to the
next stage in the process.
3. Borough President Review: Once the application has moved
past the Community Board Review, it then moves on to the
Borough President for review. The Borough President will have
one (1) month to submit his or her recommendations to CPC. A
public hearing is not required at this stage but a Borough
President can still choose to hold a hearing regardless.
4. City Planning Commission Review: Once the application has
moved past the Borough President, CPC has two (2) months to
hold a public hearing and ultimately make a decision to either
approve the plan, approve it with modifications or disapprove it.
If the plan is not approved, then the project ends there (unless it
is an urban renewal plan, in which case it still gets reviewed by
the City Council). If the plan is instead approved by CPC, it
moves on to the City Council:
· Note that when either the Community Board of the Borough
34. President, during their respective review periods, submit
recommendations, those recommendations can only pass if there
is a consensus between at least seven commissioners. If
however the Borough President recommends to disapprove a
plan for example, the vote requires nine commissioners to
agree.
5. City Council Review: The City Council will have fifty (50)
days to hold a public hearing and make a decision. Note that
not every application will need to be reviewed by the City
Council. Certain instances require the City Council review and
in others it does not (example: changes to the zoning map,
zoning text changes, housing and urban renewal plans,
disposition of residential buildings or 197-a plans all require
City Council review). Also, the City Council will have to
review if a plan is disapproved by the Community Board or the
Borough President.
· The City Council can also submit a recommendation (to
approve, approve with modifications or disapprove) even if a
plan was approved by either the Community Board, Borough
President or CPC. If the City Council approves with
modifications, CPC has fifteen (15) days to recommend whether
the modifications require another environmental impact review.
6. Mayoral Review: The Mayor has five (5) days to veto a plan
that has, for example, been approved by the City Council.
Although under the Mayor Review, he or she does not need to
formally approve the plan and the City Council and override the
mayor’s decision with a 2/3 vote.
Below is a flow chart of the process of the application as it
moves through the various departments, boards and offices:
Building Code Violations & Certificate of Occupancy Review:
35. Information was obtained from the NYC Department of
Buildings’ Information System website regarding violation
status and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy (CofO) for the
subject properties. This site lists complaints, Department of
Buildings (DOB) violations and Environmental Control Board
(ECB) violations as well as the status of the issuance of CofO.
Complaint details are available online as well as printing copies
of CofO, while actual violations must be viewed by completing
a written Request for Information. The following information
was obtained for each property:
* None Available - No Certificate of Occupancy was located for
144-35 Jamaica Avenue. The subject property was built in 1931
and requirements for a Certificate of Occupancy took effect in
1938. A Letter of No Objection (“LNO”) will need to be
obtained. Required documents for issuance of a LNO include i.
Sanborn Map; ii. Survey; iii. Pictures of the exterior & interior
of premises; iv. HPD I-Card; & v. Premises must have no open
job applications/no open violations. The estimated review
period for the issuance of an LNO is about 10 to 15 days.
Chapter 3 - 1 UNIQUE CHALLENGES
There are two unique challenges that have been identified while
constructing the capital stack model and reviewing the financial
statements.
Unique Challenge 1
After analysis of the project and available financing, a
construction loan with a 60% LTC and proposed 5.7% interest
rate will be obtained. The construction loan will require a 40%
equity investment. In order to reduce the equity investment, we
proposed to incorporate 20% LTC mezzanine financing into the
capital stack model. Given the priority position of mezzanine
financing, this type of capital requires slightly higher interest
rates than the senior construction loan. As a result of the
36. projected NOI returns, acquisition costs, construction interest
rate and investor rate of returns, incorporating the additional
costs associated with mezzanine financing was a challenge but
necessary in order to move forward on the projected analysis.
Unique Challenge 2
An additional unique challenge that this particular site proposal
encounters is maintaining and adding lower-cost housing
options. Costs for construction materials and land continue to
rise, finding a way to pay for affordable developments is
becoming much more difficult. Due to the fact that lenders base
their loans on a property’s anticipated income, when the rent is
adjusted to accommodate affordable prices and a property’s
expected income drops, so does the amount of money lenders
are willing to provide. This is where a funding gap will occur
and so poses the challenges.
The capital stack for an affordable housing project usually
includes a conventional mortgage loan, tax credits, and several
other sources of funds, like alternative financing or grants from
public or private sources. As developers, we don’t want to have
too many financing sources to fill the gap between building
costs and capital available.
Possible solutions to the posed challenges include exploring
affordable housing funding sources including low-income
housing tax credit (LIHTC). The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) created this program to incentivize
affordable housing development. LIHTC provides credits to
state housing finance agencies to allocate to developers, who in
turn typically sell them to investors to fund the project. There
are two types of LIHTC credits—9% credits and 4% credits—
and being awarded a 9% credit will help to finance the majority
of a development.
Another program is the Community Development Block Grant.
37. This federal program provides funds to state and local
governments to distribute for community development projects.
To receive these funds, local governments must submit two
annual performance evaluation reports to HUD.
Lastly 221(d)(4) is HUD’s construction loan program for both
affordable and market-rate housing. These loans are sizable—
typically more than $10M—and unlike conventional bank
financing, the terms won’t change with the market. Developers
pay interest-only during construction years, which gives up to
three additional years of financing at the same fixed rate.
221(d)(4)s are often more expensive for developers up front and
can take up to a year to secure because the FHA lender and
HUD each underwrite the transaction. These solutions can
potentially assist in the unique challenge of the burden of
identifying funding sources and managing affordable housing
finance that falls on the developer.
Chapter 4: FINAL ANALYSIS AND PROFORMA
To determine whether or not our proposed vision for this
portfolio assemblage is viable a complex and dynamic financial
model needed to be constructed. The investment thesis followed
an extremely conservative approach. The model consists of
seven sections:
1. Assumptions for Sources and Uses
2. Sources and Uses
3. Assumptions for Cash Flow
4. Cash Flow
5. Yield Analysis
6. Debt Sizing
7. Highest and Best Use
In the model the total sources of funds to equal $9,004,289.08.
This total project cost consists of a portfolio acquisition, hard
38. and soft costs as well as additional equity needed to fund point
fees, interest reserves, contingency and working capital. Our
total debt is provided by an interest only construction loan of
$4,785,669 anda Mezzanine Loan of $1,595,223. The remaining
TPC is covered by $2,623,397 of equity, with 90% coming from
sponsors.
The property will include four revenue streams.
1. An urgent care facility which produces an annual stabilized
base rent of $75,263
2. Medical Offices which will generate $256,827 of annual
revenue
3. Residential which generates $68,880 annually
4. Retail which generates $134,268 annually
The urgent care and medical office properties will be triple net
leases.
Construction/renovation will take two years. In that time
interest reserves will cover interest generated by the loans. The
third year will see income generation, but at a 75% capacity of
expected revenue, so working capital will be necessary to fill a
deficit. The following two years will be stabilized and a NOI of
$477,743 and $480,899 are expected. A cash on cash return of
1.52% and 1.64% are also expected. Year 5 NOI is expected to
be $484,078 and is the basis of our exit projections.
Chapter 4-1: EXIT PLAN
Assuming the project construction and renovations commence
and are completed at the end of Year 1, the exit will be based
39. off of Year 5 NOI and an exit capitalization rate of 10.83%. The
exit capitalization rate is calculated through the band of
investment method plus a spread. To get the base capitalization
rate, the NCREIF return index of 7.16% was multiplied by the
weight of TPC equity of 29%, plus the blended cost of debt
multiplied by debt's portion of TPC. The result is 6.83% and a
spread of 400 bps is added for the risk incurred.
According to the models projections the Year 5 NOI may not be
value of the building may not be enough to support the debt
required to take out the construction loans. If the project were
to commence, additional equity would need to be raised.
Chapter 4-2: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
By dividing the Year 5 NOI by TPC this project produces a
stabilized yield of 5.83%. Using additional increments of
$10,000 for NOI and $146,327 for TPC there is very little room
left for error to drop below the stabilized yield of 5.38%.
Furthermore, this yield analysis suggests to reach the required
capitalization rate of 10.83%, the required NOI would need to
be $975,527 or the TPC would need to be$4,468,127 to achieve
our required return or the risk.
Further asserting this position a highest and best use scenario
shows even with a tremendously small return on investment and
recapture rate of 1% with our capitalization rate of 10.83%, the
property value based on Year 5 NOI would only be $3,638,365,
nearly $200,000 less than the cost to acquire the properties
without a broker fee.
Unfortunately, all signs signal this project is not financially
40. feasible under these assumptions.

220-228 EAST 118TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10035
129.08’ Wide East Harlem Development Site | FOR SALE
52,076 129.08' 13,019 R7-A (4.00) EAST HARLEM
Buildable SF Frontage Lot Size SF Zoning (FAR) Location
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
44. Ariel Property Advisors presents 220-228 East 118th Street, a
prime development
opportunity located on the south side of east 118th Street
between Second Avenue
and Third Avenue in East Harlem.
The 129.08’ wide development site, assembled from three
adjacent lots, is currently
improved with a single-story 1,500 square foot church, a 3-story
4,224 square foot
multifamily building that will be delivered vacant, and a vacant
5,551 square foot lot.
R7-A (4.00 FAR) zoning provides approximately 52,076
buildable square feet (as-of-
right). Please note that for this specific transaction, the
purchaser will be required to
build and transfer approximately 7,000 square feet (5,100 below
grade community
facility space and 1,900 sq. ft. of residential space above-grade)
to the Assembly of
Pentecostal Church. With most of this requirement being below-
grade, the total
buildable area that can be allocated to construction of free-
market residential space is
approximately 50,176 square feet. Additionally, ownership will
consider splitting up the
assemblage, thereby increasing flexibility of development
potential.
220-228 East 118th Street is in the rapidly expanding
neighborhood of East Harlem,
an area slated for considerable growth given the neighborhood’s
recently passed
rezoning. The property is around the corner from a bustling
Third Avenue retail
corridor and is in close proximity to numerous landmarks such
45. as the CUNY Silberman
School of Social Work and The East River Plaza as well as the
recently opened New
York Proton Center and several new-construction, high-end
mixed-use properties are
also steps away, including 2283 Third Avenue, 2211 Third
Avenue, 2141 Third Avenue,
and 181 East 119th Street. Convenient access to lower
Manhattan and outer borough
locations is provided by the 6-subway train at Lexington
Avenue and East 116th Street,
the FDR Drive, and a variety of local bus lines. The future
Second Avenue subway
extension will also be a short walk at Second Avenue and 116th
Street.
220-228 East 118th Street offers developers a prime opportunity
to take advantage of
neighborhood upside and a robust residential marketplace in
East Harlem.
