Capital Investment Request
Phase 1 infrastructure activation for two silo suites.
The Silos at Still Haven are the first executable phase of a broader veteran-owned retreat model in Central Texas. This request seeks $85,000 for one-time infrastructure and launch costs tied to water, wastewater, electrical, utility routing, accessibility, interior conversion, and launch preparation for the two Phase 1 silo suites.
Executive Summary
How does this packet frame the project in one sentence?
Still Haven is a veteran-owned Central Texas proof-of-concept hospitality project. Phase 1 funds two bookable silo suites and the site systems required to open it responsibly.
What already exists
Site direction, silo shell, LLC formation, EIN, and veteran-owner verification are already in place.
What capital enables
Utilities, structural preparation, interior completion, safe access work, and launch readiness for two silo suites.
What Phase 1 proves
Construction feasibility, guest demand, operating practicality, and reserve discipline before any later expansion review.
Budget and Use of Funds
What does the budget show at a supporter-friendly level?
The document hub uses the final booklet model, including the exact $85,000 use-of-funds allocation, NOI scenarios, permit gates, and investor cautions.
| Booklet line item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Silo materials + interiors | $23,000 |
| Contractor + trade labor | $17,500 |
| Utilities + OSSF design | $13,000 |
| Site prep + parking | $8,500 |
| Deck + garden + amenities | $5,500 |
| Permits + survey + engineering | $5,500 |
| Campaign + admin | $4,000 |
| Contingency reserve | $8,000 |
| Total | $85,000 |
Timeline and Milestones
Phase 1 timeline and milestones
Opening gate
Open only after inspections, utilities, access work, photography, and turnover readiness are complete.
Operating proof
Track first bookings, payout records, guest operations, and reserve behavior before any later capital step.
Expansion discipline
later expansion is reviewable only after two operating seasons, reserve coverage, and repeated demand support it.
Operating Planning Cases
What does the base case look like?
Scenario read-through
- Base: $175 ADR, 65% occupancy, $83,038 room revenue.
- No ancillary revenue is assumed anywhere in the Phase 1 model.
This is a projected base case only. No ancillary revenue is assumed, and no return is guaranteed.
Risk and Mitigation
What are the major risks, and how are they being mitigated?
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contractor cost overrun | Medium | Medium | Lock formal bids before work begins, limit scope to Phase 1, maintain contingency, and value-engineer nonessential finishes first if needed. |
| Permit delays | Medium | Low | Confirm sequence early, avoid mobilization before approvals, and preserve schedule buffer for inspection and utility coordination. |
| Lower-than-projected occupancy in Year 1 | Medium | Medium | Use conservative pricing, build reviews deliberately, diversify channels, and delay expansion until performance stabilizes. |
| Platform policy change | Low | Medium | Maintain listing flexibility across multiple channels so demand is not dependent on a single platform. |
| Founder capacity / single point of failure | Medium | Medium | Use designated site management and contractor-led coordination to reduce founder-only dependency. |
| Regulatory or zoning issue | Low | High | Confirm lodging compatibility, permitting sequence, accessibility requirements, and life-safety expectations before major spend commitments. |
