My vision is to develop/ build and have multifamily structures built based on the size of the lot as I see it.

If he wants he can let you do the particular work done with a deadline date finished with their approval or just their vision to make sure the work gets done. 

So there are lot of ideas of how to start, you just need the motivation and the clear vision of what you want to do.

Some time ago, I had this vision that if I had 10 rentals (free & clear) when I retire, life should be good.

Trust me when I tell you, most people lack the vision which is the beauty of our business.

I'll detail more about the project below but wanted to lead with my goals in posting.TLDR;  Interested in links, advise, discussion, warnings, etc for proactively anticipating the next steps involved in planning, designing, constructing and managing large development projects from a General Partner and Owner's Agency role.The general state:- Partnered with owner contributing wholly owned lot with appropriate zoning for ~18 story mixed use set of towers (5 in total under current rough plan)- Very qualified architecture team signed on to deliver plan for design process- High level contacts with multiple potential building partners showing interest- Multiple funding options available in line with needs for initial tower's expected costsThe vision:- Emphasis on active community engagement and development- Net positive Electricity, Water and (as much as possible/practical under constraints) Food- Tightly integrated with surrounding environment with funds allocated to remediation and improvements of native ecology and community/pedestrian oriented accessibility- Digital nervous system (I have a technology background) with sensors to drive efficiencies and create digital connections between the various building components and it's residentsThanks to all for providing such a fun community!

Better way: Performance Trust Deed.That being said, I don't think you have a clear vision of either your objective or the current owner's long term plan.

Taron, that's an amazing dream and vision.

I have begun the process of building my "master mind" team we are all hungry and have the same vision, I believe  that will be worth its weight in gold.

Given the advice on similar Biggerpockets discussions, we've expanded our search to include properties in Dundalk as well as areas on the peripheral of Charles Village, Old Goucher and Remington.
