Subdividing - Selling Lots vs Building Houses

[David Casey]

Hello,  I have a 15 plus acre piece of land that I would like to subdivide and im trying to get some ideas on the best way to proceed.  I’ll have to bring in partners for sure.  I effectively own the land outright and would bring that to the table.  I bought land with a house where I presently live.   My driveway would need to be converted into a town road or private way, there are  2 hydrants on the property  already with 1  septic for our house.  There is a utility easement for Power and Cable.  Note:  I have some experience in small multi family construction and renovation.  I’ve also carved up a few small single family lots over the yers.  The concept of doing a larger subdivision is new to me but I wanted to take on a bigger challenge.  I’m open to any / all suggestions on how best to proceed. So far I hired an engineer who is flagging wet lands, doing boundary work and creating digital topo maps.   Note the market nearby is very hot, very few homes on the market and I was considering 55 plus housing to gain density plus address the lack of options serving  this demographic. Thanks, David
