Required: What advice and/ or warning would you give your friend before signing the Joint Venture contract?

- Sandhill Holdings Inc., a publicly listed company in Canada, ventured into construction of a mega-shopping mall in Edmonton, which is rated as the largest shopping mall in North America. The company’s board of directors, after much market research, decided that instead of selling the shopping mall to a local investor who had approached them several times with excellent offers that he steadily increased during the year of construction, the company would hold this property for the purposes of capital appreciation and earning rental income from mall tenants. The construction of the mall ended on December 31, 2019. Sandhill Holdings retained the services of a real estate company to find and attract many important retailers to rent space in the shopping mall. The shopping mall was fully occupied soon after construction was completed.According to the company’s accounting department, the total construction cost of the shopping mall was $50 million.
