URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Are you an investor looking to develop urban land in Louisiana or Georgia?

Whether you're envisioning a high-density apartment complex, a mixed-use development, or a revitalized neighborhood, RealNova can guide you from the initial planning stages to the completion of your project. Here are some tips to help you successfully develop urban land:
 

  1. Identify Urban Growth Areas
    Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) are key zones for development, typically located in cities' most rapidly expanding parts. These areas offer opportunities to capitalize on expanding public infrastructure like transit, utilities, and amenities. Targeting land purchases in UGAs allows you to secure properties that will appreciate as the surrounding area develops.
     

  2. Focus on Mixed-Use Development
    Mixed-use developments are increasingly popular in urban settings, combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in one cohesive plan. These projects maximize land use efficiency, attract diverse tenants, and create vibrant communities. Ensure your development includes essential amenities like green spaces, parking, and easy access to public transportation to appeal to urban dwellers.
     

  3. Incorporate Smart Technology
    Buyers and tenants in urban areas are drawn to properties that offer modern conveniences. Consider integrating smart technology into your development, such as energy-efficient systems, high-speed internet infrastructure, and smart home features. These upgrades can set your property apart in a competitive urban market and justify higher rents or sale prices.
     

  4. Strategic Land Acquisition
    Successful urban development begins with strategic land acquisition. Consider purchasing properties in areas poised for growth but still offer lower land costs. Look for opportunities to acquire underutilized or distressed properties that can be transformed through redevelopment. Additionally, pay attention to zoning regulations and incentives that can reduce costs or increase allowable densities.
     

  5. Plan for Sustainable Infrastructure
    Sustainable infrastructure is crucial in urban development, where space is limited, and environmental impact is a concern. Incorporate green building practices, renewable energy sources, and water conservation systems into your project. Urban buyers are increasingly eco-conscious and appreciate developments that prioritize sustainability.
     

  6. Understand Your Urban Demographic
    Urban development attracts a diverse demographic, including young professionals, families, and retirees. Each group has different priorities, from proximity to work and public transportation to access to schools and recreational facilities. Understanding your target market will help you design a development that meets their needs and stands out in the crowded urban real estate market.
     

  7. Address Environmental and Regulatory Considerations
    Urban development often comes with complex environmental and regulatory challenges. Work closely with city planners, environmental consultants, and legal experts to navigate zoning laws, environmental impact assessments, and building codes. Proper planning in these areas will help avoid delays and ensure your project progresses smoothly.
