Jon, then maybe you needed a different site.  My Panorama Drive subdivision 
earth work was only $100,000 for a third of a mile of street and 33 lots 
prepared for sale.    

<<shows a building SF cost of $89.00/SF.>>  Again, my way to compute sq. ft. 
building costs is on total project costs, not just the building itself.  What 
is the size of the building?  Your figures show it to be 21,350 sq. ft. ($2.5 
million less $600,000 and the result divided by $89)  I thought it was about 
half that.  

I have been told Sixth Street Station is going to run about $120 per sq. foot 
finished including  all costs and the Univ. new building at 6th and Line 
about $150 furnished; again including all costs.  My memory from the bond 
issue was the fire station was $285 per sq. ft. when the $2.5 million bond 
was divided by the announced sq. footage.
