Given many lenders are willing to fund soft costs such as construction management/development fees and items such as leasing fees, and incorporate contingency line items up to 10% (even if you don’t believe that’s necessary) if a combination of these were theoretically incorporated into the project pro-forma that’s utilized by the bank, the project costs might appear inflated and require slightly more cash up front.
