Developer notes
Sample analyst · Jul 25, 2025
Today's zoning does not carry the count. The site runs on the rezone clock: planning commission, then a council vote, then the appeal period.
Sample counsel · Mar 2, 2026
City council approval recorded and the appeal period expired without challenge. Entitlements are complete.
Sample sponsor · Oct 12, 2026
GMP accepted and the deal page published to invited investors as a preview. Land, the construction loan and equity close the same day.
Sample sponsor · Nov 1, 2026
Construction loan term sheet countersigned. Closing now waits on the equity raise alone.
