Development Spread
+141 bps

Yield-on-cost runs +141 bps versus market cap rate. A modest premium for the risk taken. Tight but viable.

Cap rate is what a buyer pays for stabilised income; yield-on-cost is what a developer creates by building it. The gap between the two — the development spread — is the premium for execution risk. Equity investors typically want 100–200+ bps of spread to fund ground-up development.
