This study aims to construct a financial evaluation model and its risk analysis for a hypothetical urban renewal case. This model is built from the perspective of constructors and simulated three scenarios: existing home sales, 100% presale and 70% presale. This comprehensive model entails a diversity of factors, including costs for evaluating urban renewal cases, deposits, estimated revenue, cash inflows and outflows in different stages of the developmental process. Besides, this financial evaluation model is supplemented with sensitivity analysis to predict the fluctuations in housing prices, construction costs and interest rates in the three scenarios, to further observe the impact of changes in risk factors on profitability. Capital needed for presale and existing home sales is different, thus, two sets of Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) are calculated. The researcher observes that profitability can be significantly attributed to future housing prices and constructing costs. Given that the impact of changes in housing prices is greater than that of the constructing costs in the future, changing interest rates won’t affect profitability much. Furthermore, WACC, which could be affected by the interest rates could impact profitability more than the changing interest rates itself. This financial evaluation model could be used as a reference for the construction industry and the government in the development and evaluation of financial risk management strategies in urban renewal projects. |
