How to get a commercial project started.

[Anthony R.]

Hello

This is my first post in this forum. I am Anthony and I have an idea for a commercial project but have little experience in commercial property. I live in Southern Cal and in the area that I live, parking is terrible. The residents sometimes drive around for 45 mins trying to find a place to park. I have had to park a mile from my place and walk home. The government officials campaign on promises that they will resolve this problem but nothing gets done. I have seen a piece of land that is large enough and I'd like to build an underground parking structure on it. I also want to build a mixed-use building with offices and condos over it. I stood on the land and in my mind, I saw the entire finished building down to the color scheme and interior decor. I don't own the land yet but I have found the owner, haven't contacted them yet either.  I believe that this would be great for the entire community so how would I start something like this? I'm looking to put a great team together to make this happen, so any ideas would help. 

Thanks
