Understanding Zoning and Zoning Potential

In the world of redevelopment, it's often the medium-sized projects that steal the spotlight.
We're talking about those apartment buildings with around 50 to 200 units – they're not too big, not too small, just right. And let me tell you, they're like a sweet spot for developers.

Why? Well, for starters, this size range hits the perfect balance. 

It's big enough to make things economically viable – meaning developers can make money while still creating cool places for people to live. But it's not so big that it becomes overwhelming. 

These projects allow developers to get creative with their designs, making buildings that are both practical and eye-catching.

But it's not just about the buildings themselves. These medium-sized projects come with all the bells and whistles that people want. 

Think essential amenities like gyms, community spaces, and maybe even a rooftop garden. 

And let's not forget about parking – there's usually enough space for everyone's cars, which is a big plus in busy urban areas.

And here's the kicker – local authorities love these projects too. They see them as a win-win. Not only do they bring new life to old buildings, but they also help make neighborhoods better. 

That's why they're often more than happy to give developers the green light.

So, when it comes to redevelopment, it's clear that medium-sized projects are where it's at. They're not just buildings – they're the key to creating vibrant, thriving communities that people are proud to call home.
