After the first 1–2 prototype buildings, four things happen simultaneously:

1. Design freezes
   No more redesign. Same core drawings, same services stack, same room modules.
2. Construction learning curve kicks in
   Builders cut time by 30–50% after repeat builds.
   This is well-documented in:
   
   • Hospitals
   • Hotels
   • Student accommodation

1. Financing friction collapses
   Lenders stop asking “will it work?”
   They start asking “how many can you deliver per year?”
2. Parallel build capability emerges
   You’re no longer building a building.
   You’re building 10 at once in different cities.

Revised, Faster Rollout Plan

Phase 1 — Prototype & Validation (Years 1–2)

• Build 1 prototype
• Build 1–2 near-identical follow-ups
• Total: 2–3 buildings
• Purpose:
  
  • Lock costs
  • Lock timelines
  • Lock margins

This phase is slow on purpose.

Phase 2 — Rapid Replication (Years 3–8)

Here’s where your intuition kicks in.

Instead of:

10–20 buildings per year

You move to:

20–30 buildings per year

Because:

• Builds overlap
• Supply chains are pre-negotiated
• Prefab / modular elements are introduced
• Project management becomes templated

At 25 buildings per year:

• ~4,250 rooms annually
• ~21,000 rooms in 5 years

Phase 3 — System-Level Scale (Years 8–18)

This is where it really bends.

You’re no longer a developer.

You’re a housing platform.

• 40–50 buildings per year
• Multiple build teams
• Multiple financiers
• Portfolio-backed debt

At 45 buildings per year:

• ~7,650 rooms annually
• 70,000 rooms reached around year 16–18

That’s twice the scale in roughly half the time compared to a linear rollout.

Why this doesn’t blow up risk

This acceleration is safe because:

• Each building is already proven
• Demand is consistent
• Rooms are small, simple, and standard
• No full kitchens = fewer failure points
• Revenue starts immediately upon completion

You’re speeding up repetition, not experimentation.

After the prototype phase, the model shifts from bespoke development to repeat production — allowing the number of buildings delivered each year to double while construction time per building is halved.

Each building is designed to generate multiple, independent revenue streams, ensuring long-term financial sustainability while delivering large-scale social housing.

Core Income Streams (Per Building)

Organic Supermarket – Tara Lab Organics

A full-service organic mini-supermarket supplying food, household goods, and daily essentials.

• ~$200,000–$300,000 per week turnover
• ~30% net margin
• ~$3m–$4.5m net per annum

Natural Medical Centre (Multidisciplinary Clinic)

A high-demand, integrated health hub including:

• GP doctors
• Naturopaths & integrative practitioners
• Physio, massage, allied health
• ~$50,000–$100,000 per week net profit
• One of the strongest and most stable revenue contributors

Community Café – Kitchen Lab

A social enterprise café serving residents and the public.

• ~$60,000 per week turnover
• ~$3m+ per annum

Laundry Lab

Essential, high-use service for residents and the surrounding community.

• ~$15,000–$25,000 per week
• Low overhead, stable margins

Retail Shops (Leased Tenancies)

Multiple ground-floor retail spaces leased to aligned businesses.

• ~$4,000–$5,000 per week
• ~$200k–$260k per annum
• Long-term, low-volatility income

Residential Income (Social + Market Mix)

• Social housing rooms with stable occupancy
• One full floor of market-rate apartments to cross-subsidise operations
• ~$3m–$5m per annum combined

Indicative Total Revenue (Per Building)

Blended annual revenue:

👉 ~$15m–$20m per building

This excludes:

• Property appreciation
• Portfolio efficiencies as the network scales

Why This Works

• Income is diversified — no single revenue stream carries the risk
• Core services are everyday essentials (food, health, housing)
• Buildings generate cash flow while housing displaced and homeless people
• Assets appreciate over time, strengthening the balance sheet

In short:

This model doesn’t rely on charity to survive — it uses commercial strength to scale compassion.
