I am curious.
At C$278 million to build, how does this compare to the cost of conventional construction methods for a building the same size?
I am asking because nowhere in the available information on it is there a mention of an ROI payback period from the C$500,000 saved per year. It seems like that would be a bragging point they would want to get out front.
Even if the cost of the building was 5 percent over normal costs you would be looking at an ROI of no more than 28 years. Realistically it would probably closer to 20 years or less with the expected inflation of utility expenses. If the building expected life span is 50 years the extra upfront cost was worth it.
If there was no construction cost inflation over conventional designs this would be a world class home run.
