ParkShopping Barigüi, after both expansions, will increase its GLA by 21%, to 50,050 sq.m. .

Disclaimer The following rationale was used to calculate the project’s feasibility: The cost of the project (capex) is based on the estimated construction cost of satellite, anchor and food stores, mall, rest rooms, parking lot and service outlets. These estimates were evaluated by the company’s technical department. For the purpose of evaluating project capex, these costs are not reduced by key money revenue. Operating revenue was estimated based on different rents per sq.m. for satellite stores, anchor stores, restaurants, fast-food stores, service outlets and leisure facilities. Leasing contract pricing were evaluated on a case-by-case basis by our team of specialized brokers, based on a planned mix of stores. The model uses a 10-year cash flow, with real annual growth of 2% after the fifth year and perpetuity with equal growth after the end of the period, figures are subject to review and are designed to give a preliminary view of the project only.
