Why Land Entitlement?

Land entitlement in commercial real estate is an intricate process that offers significant potential for redevelopment and repositioning of existing properties. This process is about more than just transforming raw land; it involves navigating the legal and bureaucratic landscape to enhance the value and utility of land or properties through strategic development or redevelopment.

Mitigating Risk in Redevelopment

A key strategy in reducing risk during the entitlement process, particularly in redevelopment, is to act as a middleman while having a developer positioned as a buyer on the back end even before closing the deal. This approach can mitigate many risks traditionally associated with land development. 

The process is complex, involving steps like obtaining various approvals and permits, and potentially rezoning or obtaining conditional use permits. In redevelopment, challenges like dealing with properties not zoned for the intended use can be mitigated through strategic land entitlement approaches, such as working with planning and zoning boards or modifying zoning ordinances. 

Assembling the right team, including experts like zoning attorneys, civil engineers, architects, traffic engineers, and professional planners, is crucial in navigating the complex world of zoning and land use. Each expert plays a pivotal role in ensuring the development not only complies with zoning laws but is also profitable and sustainable in the long term.

Conclusion

Land entitlement and property repositioning in commercial real estate offer a sophisticated yet rewarding investment opportunity.
