    11.63 million dollar

    Explanation:

    In 2005 the construction cost index was 1746, in 2015, it was 3260.

    change in index in 10 years = 3260-1746 = 1514

    change in 5 years (estimated) = 757

    Estimated index in 2010 = 1746 + 757

    = 2503

    Estimated index in 2020 = 3260 + 757

    = 4017

    Value of building in 2010 = 1746 million dollar

    Value of similar building - X

    X / 1746 = index in 2020 (probable) / index in 2010

    X / 7.25 = 4017 / 2503

    X = 11.63 million dollar
