I read you - sum of the parts, good point. However, the museum is not a revenue generator - so it can't carry it's burden of capital expense w/ which the other components must pick up the shortfall. So that has no reasonable approach to recap as far as a bank is considered. The office market won't suppport the $25/foot quotes on rent as nothing in Louisville has even come close to that threshold. And the last time I checked Abramson had run most competing fortune 1000 companies out. The res component won't generate enough presales based upon the lenders preconstruction requirements and U of L - well - my crystal ball says they may be broke before all is said and done. Not exactly a triple A rated anchor tenant and the board could never justify the rent quotes.
Its all just - interesting cocktail talk but there is no basic operating mechanism of the whole project, except one.
Have the parties that are proposing such a building had any experience in real estate development on this magnitude before - do they intend to own or flip? I mean aside of the 90 room boutique motel.
Finally curious whe makes the calls: Greenburg, Wilson, Brown or Poe?
Last question - I'll send you in a PM
