Interactive Financials — Plan A vs Plan B
Use the interactive calculator to model different scenarios: occupancy rates, amenity mixes, and build phases. All calculations update in real-time. This page provides a financial overview of both plans and key assumptions.
Plan A (Eco Hotel) vs Plan B (RV Park)
Plan A: Eco Hotel
Year-1 revenue: $615k–$1,080k (30 pods, 60% avg occupancy)
Year-1 NOI: $180k–$350k
Payback: 5–7 years (strong margins post-Year 2)
Plan B: RV Park (restructured 2026-08-17)
Year-1 revenue: $150–200k (30 pads, 50% avg occupancy, 5–8 mo. operating)
Year-1 NOI: $70–90k (gated on CUP approval timeline)
Year-3 NOI: $300–500k (full 30 pads + 5–10 pods)
Payback: 3–5 years (lower capex RV core, upside pods)
Regulatory advantage: Shuttle service de-risks CUP approval (15–25% higher odds)

Base Capex Breakdown (Plan A) — What's Included vs What's Optional
Base Infrastructure ($4.0M total): This is the fixed foundation for the eco-hotel. All Plan A scenarios include these components:
What's included in "Site Infrastructure & Contingency" ($1.046M):
Utilities (water, power, wastewater), site grading & access roads, parking infrastructure, stormwater management, basic landscaping, dining hall foundation + bathhouses, 15% contingency buffer. These are NOT optional — they're required for any eco-hotel scenario.
Optional Amenities (add-on line items): Use the interactive calculator to layer in premium features. Each amenity is independently selectable and adds to the base $4M capex:
- Yoga pavilion: +$80k (pre-built timber structure, unheated)
- Heated spa/pools: +$200k–$350k (small hot spring–inspired soaking tubs + deck)
- Climbing wall / adventure course: +$120k (outdoor ropes course, bouldering)
- Guest shop / coffee bar upgrade: +$60k–$100k (licensed, elevated menu)
- Event pavilion (premium): +$180k (50-person indoor, heating/AC)
Amenities are revenue drivers (nightly rate premiums + à la carte upsells) and are fully optional. Toggle them in the calculator to model different buildout scenarios and payback timelines.
Build Sequencing & Payback
Plan A (Eco Hotel) — Hotel licensing, longer build: Phase 0 (site prep, utilities, month 0–4), Phase 1 (first 10 pods, month 5–16), Phase 2 (remaining 20 pods, month 17–40). Soft opening at month 12, full occupancy by month 24. Full payback 5–7 years depending on occupancy ramp and amenity uptake.
Plan B (RV Park) — CUP approval, phased revenue: Phase 0 opens dry parking month 1 ($40/night); Phase 1a adds electric by month 4 ($65/night); Phase 1b adds water/sewer by month 6 ($85/night). Revenue begins immediately; full payback 3–4 years due to lower capex and earlier cash flow.
Risk/reward trade: Plan A requires more upfront capital and permitting time but offers higher long-term margins and premium positioning. Plan B is faster to cash flow and lower capex, but hit payback sooner with lower operating leverage.
