SPACE IMPACT:

TOTAL NOI & ASSET VALUE IMPACT

wrinsy boosts NOI, directly driving significant asset value growth.

NOI IMPACT

Annual financial contribution:

  • Resident Amenity Revenue: $1,317,600

Value = NOI ÷ Cap Rate. At a 5.5% cap rate:

  • $2.1M ÷ 0.055 = $38.1M

Potential Asset Value Increase: $31M–$38M.

THE REAL ASSET OPPORTUNITY

Restores valuable interior space, 14,640 sq ft of interior space, equivalent to:

  • An additional building floor
  • Expanded amenities
  • Multiple new revenue opportunities

NOI growth is not just incremental income, it is a direct multiplier of total asset value.
