How to assess the true potential of a land opportunity
A strong opportunity balances use, feasibility, demand, cost and risk.
Location and rules
Review access, infrastructure, services, zoning, development rights and necessary permits.
Full cost
Include acquisition, taxes, studies, financing, works, timing and contingency.
Demand and exit
Identify the end client, observed prices, likely sales pace and alternative scenarios.
Risk and return
Compare prudent assumptions. A margin is credible only when timing, costs and risks are included.
