Development Process
The early stage of a project focuses on due diligence, research, and permitting. It is often the most variable in duration. Some of the common steps in this phase include:
- Market analysis and feasibility studies
- Land acquisition or securing option rights to purchase land
- Environmental assessments
- Surveys
- Site plans, development plans, and building plans
- Permitting
- Some infrastructure improvements
- Arranging construction financing
The middle stage involves constructing the improvements. Common steps in this stage include:
- Vertical construction
- Project marketing
- Drawing on construction financing
- Pre-leasing
- Arranging permanent financing (if not done during pre-development)
- Arranging for the property manager (if not done during pre-development)
The final stage of the development process, operation, is the first stage of the building’s life. Some activities during the final stage include:
- Ongoing marketing and leasing
- Finding a buyer, if not done earlier
- Determining a hold strategy, if not selling
- Ramping up property management
- Achieving stabilization
