Lisa... you are soooo right about Elon Musk. He has so many revolutionary ideas and the business sense to back it. Did you see where Buffalo, NY became the first City in the US to abolish minimum parking requirements just last week? It's heading in that direction rapidly.

I can do some coffee in the morning. I live in SouthPark. Are you on this side of town? I'd love to see the site plans you have so far. The 6 spaces per 1k SF is ridiculous. Never going to hit that mark with surface parking. There is a medical office at the intersection of Rea and Ballantyne Commons that is 3 stories tall so, without opening the UDO, I'll assume that is possible. A 6k SF footprint at 3 stories get's you 18k SF and leaves some additional room for parking. It'll take a very creative solution to squeeze everything you want out of that Site.
200 rental properties is very impressive. Please tell me you sub out the property management or else you're not getting any sleep. Are you still purchasing aggressively or have the financials stopped working with these elevated prices? The economics for raw land in CLT are beyond unsustainable at this point. Couple that with Contractor prices going up monthly and it's increasingly tough to make a deal work.
