This is the most progress this city has ever had.  

The syndication route takes experience and networks of people.Good luck on your progress.

Thanks for the advice everyone, please keep it coming and keep everyone updated on the progress. 

Just thoughts...either way congrats and keep us updated on your progress.

Most importantly though is to keep pushing forward and making progress either towards a sale, or walking away and looking for other investments.

Also, one other interesting note that I saw in the agencies' tip sheet on establishing use is this passage: "If a use not allowed under the current zoning commenced under permit, or a permit for the use has been granted and has not expired, or substantial progress has been made toward construction of a structure to be occupied by the use, then Seattle DCI recognizes the use as “established” in our records, and therefore legally nonconforming."

Being a month into the project, we were definitely expecting to have more progress done to date, but we still believe we are within our four month timeline.

As you progress, you'll make changes to your approach!
