Things take much longer to develop than people think.Typically when you see big apartment buildings go up it is a 3 to 5 year process.It might only be a few years from the time the public hears about it but before that years of legwork went into getting to that point.I couldn't say if right now was the right time to build.Everything is project specific.If the city will let you use a class C finish rather than a class A the numbers will save you money.Just to give a for instance some cities will demand a traffic light be put in for some projects.The traffic light parts itself are not that expensive but with the fiber optic hookup and underground cabling you are talking hundreds of thousands just for that one item.Typically on larger projects it's a fight for the developer to make profit.They propose a certain density and drawing.The county or city then wants to reduce the density and add in all these road improvements and lights at the cost of the developer.All the costs have to work for both parties to get a deal done.I have seen some projects take 2 years to get approved from submitting after going back and forth with revisions and tabling until the next meeting.So half the battle is the cost and financing available when you break ground and the other is the political junk.How much total land would you be getting??
