When you’re searching for land for sale in Ohio, whether it for a residential community or commercial development, is a significant investment. One that requires careful evaluation of multiple factors.
Defining the Scope of Your Project
If you’re building single-family homes, apartments, or mixed-use, factor in nearby amenities like parks, community centers, and proximity to schools. Research the local demographics like income levels, and demand for housing or businesses. Consider the availability of essential services like healthcare, education, shopping and utilities.
For commercial development, identify the type of businesses or industries that would be moving in – such as retail, office spaces, industrial parks – and what their needs are for parking and access to transportation. Ensure there’s proximity to major roads, highways, and public transportation.
Look for a company who knows about zoning and land use regulations
We can help ensure the land for sale is zoned for your intended purpose, whether its residential, commercial, or mixed-use. We investigate potential restrictions, like height limits and building density.
Of course, there’s always changes in local zoning plans or ordinances, and we keep on top of those for any land we list for sale.
Infrastructure and Utilities
We make sure to determine the availability of roads, water, electricity, sewage systems, and broadband internet are readily available. Or if not, how to get that infrastructure in place as part of your project. We’re familiar with the cost and timelines for installing or upgrading those necessary utilities and infrastructure.
Need assistance with environmental and site considerations?
We’re here to help you address any required environmental permits or mitigation measures. We conduct environmental impact assessments to identify risks such as flood zones, wetlands, or contamination. Evaluating the topography and soil quality ensures it supports your construction and development plans.
Evaluating Market Trends and Demand
It’s important to consider the long-term growth potential of the region. Our decades of experience helps you analyze current real estate or commercial market trends in the area. We can identify competitors and assess potential saturation for businesses or housing.
Need to conduct a thorough legal review?
Things like Title Search to confirm clear ownership and identify any liens or encumbrances is also what we do before you buy land. We’re always aware of any easements or any rights-of-way issues on the property. We can even help with Permits and Approvals by researching all necessary permits for your construction and development.
Purchasing land for development involves significant planning and resources, and we’re here for you. By addressing these factors and working with us, we help you can maximize the success of your residential or commercial projects.
