Large Multi Family New Construction DFW, TX
Hi Guys,
I am looking at a deal in DFW TX, new construction (raw land right now) zoned multi family and allows up to 80 units (by right).
I am based in Los Angeles, cost of construction is a lot different up here compared to TX.
What I am looking for to help me properly under write the deal
1. Hard Costs: Cost per sf (rough order of magnitude) new construction large multi family in the DFW area.
2. Soft Costs: Approx. $/sf (Design Consultants etc).
3. Approval process within DFW (by right lot) I couldn't imagine it taking any longer than 6 months from start to pulling permits?
4. Approx. entitlement fees to get the job approved. Is there a rule of thumb in DFW for new construction?
4. Typical GC fees as a % of total cost of construction in DFW (commercial GC fees, not residential).
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Reed
