In New York city, for whatever reasons – it became skyscrapers centre. IT is not possible to go with a new project in Wall Street, Manhattan according with zoning code. 1916 zoning las has been formed to protect the environment from tall constructions rule violation. In Manhattan alone, roughly two out of every five buildings are taller, bulkier, heavier or more crowded than existing zoning law allows. Tall building would start to cast the city into eternal darkness. The set back rule in the zoning laws would help to prevent from this shadow fear, but a large impact ill cause by the project. 40% of the building blocks which are using for business or residential purpose whatever made a concrete forest effect in this environment.

The second project deals with the construction of additional natural gas liquefaction process.

New construction of LNG tanks has an impact widely on fish and wild life habitat, including federally listed threatened and endangered species. And also the project cause some impact on construction work force on local housing, structure, public services, transportation. Air quality and noise associated issues will come after the configuration.

A construction company is evaluating an investment project consisting in developing a new residential building on a plot of land. The cost of the land, to be paid in t=0, is €500K and construction would take 2 years. Construction costs are estimated to be €650K in t=1 and €650K in t=2. The building would then generate an annual cash flow of €250K in perpetuity, starting from t=3. If the cost of capital is 8%, the NPV of this project is...
