Busy week this week. Had hearings for 100 units of affordable housing in one of the wealthiest towns in the northeast, and a 1 MM SF distribution facility in one of the poorest towns in the northeast. Both faced intense opposition, but for two very different reasons.

Jackson, Mississippi is currently failing to provide the basic, fundamental need of clean and safe drinking water to its residents. Today is day 2 of this problem. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

This is a terrible take. If you are this critical of civil engineers and their site planning capabilities, you are dealing with the wrong civil engineers.

Just because your civil engineer is willing to draw up a site plan for you doesn't mean your civil engineer knows anything about site planning

When a community zoning regs don’t allow exactly what we want to do the solution is really quite simple. Change the regs.

Don’t allow multi-family? Create a reg that limits it to parcels of a certain size that can ensure it won’t create onerous impacts to the surrounding properties

Strategy is critical to the success of any land use application, especially when you want to change the rules. But it is incredibly satisfying (and very lucrative) when you are successful.

The equity money being thrown around these days is almost silly. The next few years are going to be fascinating to watch unfold.

A lot of people view brokers as leaches who just suck fees out of deals. That was my first impression. Then I learned what they do and the relationships they control. A good broker should be your best friend if you want to succeed in this industry.

Screwing over brokers is the most damaging blind spot in commercial real estate.
That 2% you saved just crushed your future dealflow, and the brokerage communion now knows how you do business.

At another small town considering an application for a small apartment project (>35 units). It might as well be 1,000 units. NIMBY is alive and well

The most valuable skill

In my experience, nothing better that working with an engineer that can take complicated concepts and explain them in laymen’s terms. Such a valuable skill.

Alternative take - rather than spend the money up front on the full blown geo report, do some preliminary test pits during DD so you have a handle on subsurface conditions and can plan accordingly.

These geotech reports are extremely necessary for structural and civil engineers to understand what is going on beneath the surface
I highly recommend having this done by a qualified geotechnical engineer early in the due-diligence process
Cost implications are almost certain

Spend the money of a full blown geo report after plans are progressed and you know you have a project as to minimize necessary revisions as things change
