Developers buy land, finance real estate deals, build or have builders build projects, create, imagine, control and orchestrate the process of development from the beginning to end. Developers usually take the greatest risk in the creation or renovation of real estate. Typically, developers purchase a tract of land, determine the marketing of the property, develop the building program and design, obtain the necessary public approval and financing, build the structure, and lease, manage, and ultimately sell it. Developers work with many different counterparts along each step of this process, including architects, city planners, engineers, surveyors, inspectors, contractors, leasing agents and more.

In recent years, financial institutions and property owners have faced the possibility of becoming land developers. Plans devised in the good times fell short and stepping into the position of the developer or builder promises greater returns than a bulk sale. Seldom do these parties have development expertise. The inherent complexity of partially finished improvements, financial security agreements, and permits and approvals (often on the verge of expiration) are usually beyond the expertise of banks and most property owners.

A developer’s fee is compensation to the developer for the time and risk involved to develop the project. It is typically based on the size of the project, the total development cost and the risk associated with the project.
The developer’s fee is just one consideration as the developer may also bring his resources to bear on any given project such as construction, property management fees, project ownership (if the developer will receive a return on equity the developer invested in the project), sale of tax credits to investors (for projects receiving Low-Income Housing Tax Credits) and commissions for sale and or leasing of completed projects.
You can estimate the developer’s fee, considering the size, risk, and cost of the development project, as well as the developer’s interest in the project. The developer’s fee is expressed as a percentage of the total development cost. Note that this percentage will change as you continue to input data on other costs.
