QUESTION

Why did this project's predevelopment process take so long?

Aleena Farishta states that the predevelopment process's length is due to comprehensive tasks like site surveying, diligence, and preparing a site plan, alongside pandemic-related delays.

  • The predevelopment process is inherently lengthy, involving detailed site surveying and deep diligence.
  • Coordination with sister agencies, such as city planning, is necessary to ensure a technically complete application, especially for land use actions like rezoning.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic further delayed the process, though the team is now ready to present the project and hope to move forward.
