Re: Updated Revenue Projections for Salina STAR Bond District
_____________________________________________________________________________________
As requested, Development Strategies reviewed the recent changes to The Alley and analyzed their prospective
impact on revenue projections. The developers of The Alley reduced the building size from 47,000 square feet to
40,000 square feet, thereby reducing the number of bowling lanes from 32 (24 regular and 8 boutique) to 26 (20
regular and 6 boutique). In addition, the amount of concourse area and the small party rooms were eliminated,
the latter because they are seldom used in The Alley’s existing locations in Hutchinson and Wichita.
It is our understanding that The Alley will still include laser tag, games, and a restaurant, as initially proposed.
Our original revenue projections for the Alley totaled $4,000,000, or $85.10 per sq. ft. The proposed changes to
The Alley’s design will improve the overall efficiency of the facility, but after careful consideration and review, it is
prudent to reduce the projected taxable sales to $3,700,000, or $92.50 per sq. ft.
The tables on the following pages summarize the revised revenue projections and the overall impact this
adjustment has on the availability of various taxes for STAR Bond repayment. All prior modifications remain..
A full account of all assumptions used in the calculation of revenue for each project component can be found in
the full report prepared in January 2017 for the City of Salina.
