Adding Density to a Development Project with Axel Monsaingeon
Manage episode 449126449 series 2794951
Have you ever faced unexpected challenges when pursuing a real estate project? In this episode, I share an update on my ongoing development in Verdun, where I navigate the complexities of building permits, zoning changes, and project financing. What started as a plan for a 16-unit building with commercial space has evolved into a six-floor, 43-unit residential project with underground parking. The journey highlights the importance of adapting to city requirements and collaborating with various stakeholders to meet development goals.
I discuss the hurdles faced, from redesigning to align with city zoning changes to balancing project costs and finding partners for financing. The lower interest rates have provided some relief, but challenges remain in meeting profitability expectations. Through interactions with city officials and learning from experienced developers, I’ve gained insights into the evolving regulations and how they impact project feasibility.
This episode is a testament to the resilience required in real estate development. It underscores why patience, strategic planning, and strong relationships with city authorities and partners are essential. Stay tuned for more updates as I continue this ambitious project and share lessons learned along the way.
