Craig Shute Approaching a Chain Restaurant for Development
7 February 2012 | 4 replies
Depending on the chain they have a selected broker handling their growth and searches for them.The restaurant also has a builder that does spec work for them.Not all restaurants have free standing and some only have in line models.You have to see what the product mix is for the area.Example if 20 pizza places are in a 2 mile radius the saturation rate might be to high for a particular restaurant.They look at demographics,price for the land,required easements,traffic flow for time of day whether they are mainly a lunch driven business or dinner.Shape of the parcel for architectural work,flow,and what model of restaurant they can build there.Example a franchise has 3 size models.Data for the area suggest the biggest model.Your parcel would only fit their smallest building.In that case they might see about buying another parcel to increase size or find another location.Chain restaurants usually lease the space so they can free up capital to keep growing locations and their brand.
Joel Owens Do you place limit on number of tenants in one unit??
4 February 2012 | 9 replies
As long as the rent is paid and they are quiet I don't care.Now when people get in hard times I find 3 people turn into 10 people living under one unit 2 beds,2 1/2 baths.The problem is the people that were qualified credit and criminal are on the lease and the others are not.So the unknown people have not been qualified to see if they will be a problem or not.More people wear down the units faster,cause noise with extra vehicles,and parking issues.Our water is not sub-metered and is paid by us the landlord.Extra people taking a shower,flushing the toilet,washing clothes,cooking etc. runs up the water bill.Water company says people use about 60 gallons a day on average according to statistics.I know there is fire code limits but I was thinking of having in lease max of 4 people and anything over that is 50 dollars per month per person.This would cover extra water bill and help with extra turning costs with the heavier traffic usage.

John Wilker Changing zoning of a parcel of land
21 February 2012 | 5 replies
You will have to dig to see where the property is at in the process.When I worked for developers we would keep things tightly under wraps so people didn't have much time to mount opposition to the plan.The zoning attorney also tries to picks times where most of the public won't show up.Even if you can't get the level of stories or use changed you could argue the developers finishes need to be higher grade and style.That alone might push them to another location because of cost.Once the project is altered to a certain point where the developer can't build density or has to make too many improvements to the roads,traffic lights,high end finishes to the build etc. the project becomes dead.Apartments right now are hot.Many plans call for more town homes but it is not profitable for many developers to build that in this environment.
