At a minimum, having viable plans in place for development will make these lots more marketable and valuable to potential builders when we have conversations. 

It's important to stay informed about developments in the areas you're considering, as well as any potential changes in regulations or economic conditions.

Managing 17 shopping centers and selecting sites for new developments is no small feat—kudos to you!
