Understanding Land Development
Land development is the process of converting raw, undeveloped acreage into a construction-ready site. Though this may sound simple, it takes an understanding of city & county regulations, access to the right resources, and a strategic approach to identify a suitable site. For example, a property that is well suited for a 1+ acre subdivision ( for example - peaceful, gently rolling terrain with oak trees) does not always work as a commercial site, and the same criteria that make a great commercial site (for example - high traffic count and priced by the square foot) do not make for a great residential subdivision.
Identifying Potential Development Opportunities
Identifying opportunities in land development requires an ability to perceive potential where it may not be readily apparent. It's about seeing past the current state of a land parcel to envision what it could become – be it a thriving housing community, a lucrative commercial hub, or a multifunctional industrial park. While no future forecast is perfect, there are unique characteristics to residential, commercial, and industrial uses.

Navigating Zoning and Land Use Laws
Zoning and land use regulations play a critical role in the land development process. Having a basic understanding of these laws helps to screen out properties that may not fit your criteria (What is this property zoned for? How does the current zoning impact future growth?) and can also uncover certain benefits that could enhance a property’s value. However, the intricacies of zoning and land use often require the expertise of a civil engineer. In such cases, we provide guidance and can recommend trusted civil engineers from within our network to handle these issues.
