Frequently Asked Questions.
Does rezoning increase the value of my property?
Yes, in many cases rezoning can significantly increase a property's value—especially when transitioning from agricultural or residential to commercial or mixed-use. However, the process can be complex and requires market alignment, municipal support, and strategic planning.
What is the difference between entitlements and zoning?
Zoning sets broad use categories (like residential or commercial), while entitlements include all the approvals—such as site plans, variances, and permits—needed to actually develop the land as intended.
Can I develop land I inherited or currently use personally?
Yes. Many landowners choose to develop inherited or underused land to generate long-term income. Partnering with a team that understands entitlements, financing, and market fit is key to doing it successfully.
How long does the development process usually take?
Timelines vary based on location, project type, and municipal approvals, but most projects take 12–24 months from planning to completion. Proper planning can shorten timelines and reduce costly delays.
What makes land ‘investment-ready’?
Land is considered investment-ready when it has proper zoning, entitlements, utility access, and a development plan that aligns with market demand. Preparation like this significantly increases land value and investor appeal.
Can development be phased over time?
Yes. Phased development allows landowners and investors to reduce risk, align with demand, and fund projects in stages—especially effective on large or complex sites.
What’s the benefit of building to suit versus spec building?
Build-to-suit projects are tailored to specific end-user needs and often come with pre-leased agreements, reducing risk. Spec buildings offer more flexibility but require strong market insight.
