Hi JimJoe,

By "pure" profit I meant profit from just the construction and sale of a facility and it's appreciation. I maybe did not use the best of terms. (Too sad at having left TV yesterday and having to go back to work ).

A facility like the Savannah Center will generate money that Villagers pay to attend events there. If the developer retained that property he would earn the profits from the revenues (less expenses) that it generates. By selling it, he knows it has a value beyond the brick and mortar in the profit stream it will bring.
