Abstract
Understanding the components of replacement costs for office developments, and how these components combine to create total development costs is essential for success in office real estate development. Surprisingly, the term "replacement cost" does not enjoy a standard definition in the industry. This study explores the components of total replacement cost, and ultimately creates a market-level index industry professionals can utilize when creating or reviewing office development budgets.
