If you're considering a 4-tenant retail development, I'll assume you've already performed a fair amount of the preliminary due diligence and evaluation such as:* identified actual demand for the product type in the market you are considering, along with supply in process within competition area to the proposed site.* understand current market rents for the type of tenant and construction you are considering, and at your specific location.* understand delivery timelines, TI schedules, and general construction process/permitting for you and the end users.* have identified the most likely tenants for the development in question, and understand the building criteria each have for spaces.If you haven't answered "Yes" to each of the above, I would recommend pausing until you have the above nailed down.

So why does there seem to be such a huge imbalance between supply and demand?
