There's a word salad if I ever read one.

The OP asked about the Developer's "income" as it relates to (2) things. "Building/Selling Homes" and "Commercial Property Landlord"

He didn't ask about the other businesses the Developer owns, such as banks or mortgage companies.

He didn't ask about "revenue", he asked about "income" to the Developer. "Revenue" is not "income". (Income Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster).

It's not that complicated to figure. Developing, building and selling homes in the way the developer does it, should yield between 20%-30%. Maybe a little more, perhaps a little less.

Renting commercial space (retail, office, industrial, etc.) should have a blended yield between $18 sq. ft. - $28 sq. ft., including any "% of revenue" on retail space. Probably not much more, nor any less.

How much of that flows into someone's pocket, is an entirely different question, but it's obvious the Developer is doing fairly well.
