One Plot, One Indicative Scenario
4.893 acres in Kisumu, peri-urban, edge of town, read as a branded 5-a-side centre, six courts. Everything below is an indicative scenario modelled from this county's own wages, prices and population, and from the published pitch standards. It is football-development research, not professional advice, and a registered valuer, licensed surveyor, advocate and quantity surveyor replace every figure in it.
Research estimate, not a valuation. Any real decision needs a surveyor and a registered valuer.

What Fits On It
The plot is big enough for this facility as modelled. Both orientations are tried, the run-off is kept on all four sides, and the leftover strip is reported rather than built on — it is where parking, changing rooms and access go.

How this is worked out
The Method, Attached
- Land is priced from the county's own cost index (1.228) on our published land model, and the day-one figure is whichever route is chosen — here the 99-year lease.
- The build is the facility planner's capex for this type at this county's cost index, plus 12.0% for design, supervision, statutory approvals and contingency.
- Income and operating profit are the planner's own figures on this county's living wage, 15-34 population and utility prices.
- Development value capitalises the operating profit at a 14.0% exit yield — the return a buyer of a trading Kenyan leisure asset would want. Profit on cost is the surplus over land, build and fees.
