Developing a 16 unit SFR.

[Steve Vawter]

Hello All and thanks in advance.

Looking for resources on the Land Development New Build Process. I have (finally) landed an opportunity to develop 16 units on 3 acres in Tampa. The owner of the property has asked me to manage the process. I certainly could navigate it all myself, but I was hoping for some hints/tips to make the process smoother, could also use some sage advice on the process itself. I have built many homes before all in-fill however this is the largest project to date, next largest was a 5 unit townhome project but that was not much different from in-fill.  

The current state is that we have an architect site/plot plan and need to engage the the County to get approval. 

Any advice from y'all would be amazing, any one willing to let me pick there brain for 30 min would be even better. 

Thanks everyone

Hey Steve,

I knew a guy whose entire business was getting plats like that ready to sell to a developer who would come in to do the build. (we're no longer in touch or else I'd introduce you) He'd get all the water, sewer, and electrical lined in, do all of the streets and frontage, then sell the project to a track builder to handle the rest. He made a killing in those margins by driving the land cost down for the builders.

Not sure if that's something you'd be into but figured I'd offer the suggestion.

Good luck!
