Real Estate Development: From Concept to Completion

 

Introduction

Real estate development is the process of converting raw land into finished properties. It's a complex process that requires careful thought, planning, and execution. In this article, we'll look at what developers do, why they do it, how they pay for it, and more.

What and how much does a builder or developer pay for land?

If you're a builder or developer, the cost of land is a major component of the overall cost of construction. Land is a finite resource and its price often reflects how much people are willing to pay for it. You can purchase land from private sellers or from government agencies (such as state and local governments).

What are the three basic types of real estate development?

·        Residential development: Residential real estate includes single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums. It also includes multi-unit apartment buildings that can range from three stories to more than 20 stories tall.

·        Commercial development: Commercial real estate includes retail space for stores, office buildings for businesses, warehouses and industrial parks that are used by manufacturers or other companies whose workers need large amounts of space in which to work. These properties may be owned by private individuals or corporations who rent them out when they're not using them themselves--or they may be owned outright by those same entities.

·        Industrial development: Industrial properties include factories where products are manufactured; warehouses where goods are stored; transportation terminals such as airports or ports where freight is shipped in one direction before being loaded onto trains or trucks bound for another destination (known as intermodal freight).
