Land Entitlement, Partnerships & Forward Planning

SERVICES

List here is just some of what Shared Equity Investments brings to the table and can do to help develop your property.

Forward Planning and Pre-Development Analysis
Utilizing all of the City and County codes available as well as the General Plan, Zoning requirements and our city contacts, we work with you and with city representatives to produce the best and most practical use of your undeveloped property.

Land Entitlement
The Land Entitlement process involves zoning, density, street design and installation, engineering, landscape, architecture, physical infrastructure and utility installations which can be all be a huge undertaking. It may sound like a lot of work and it is, but we can help.

Efficient land entitlement will provide you, the landowner, with the most profitable project at the highest or best density for the area. The bottom line is we help you get more money for your property. In order to do so, we have professional personnel on staff, or at our disposal, to assist in the entitlement process.

Architects
Our architects are available to design your property for its’ highest value and best use. From site design to building layouts and elevations, we work with the jurisdiction to perfect a project that will be attractive to both builders and consumers.

Civil Engineers
Our civil engineers confirm site boundaries and ensure that your layout works from a design and construction standpoint. It is important that your tentative map or parcel map, is laid out in a fashion that matches construction documents. Your grading plans must be in substantial conformance with your approved map, and our staff makes sure that everything done on the front end, matches the engineering standards on the back end.

Landscape Architecture
Landscape design is very important to a project. Not only does the landscaping have to "sell" the project, but the city or jurisdiction must like the landscaping as well. It is important to have a Landscape Architect who will design your site in a manner that is both exceptional from an aesthetic standpoint, but economical to implement as well. Shared Equity works with only the finest Landscape Architects and we are confident that you will love the quality of their work.

Geotechnical
Geotechnical and Soils Reports are available through our approved Consultants.

Construction Plans
We also handle construction plans as well through our Architects and Engineers. We can handle all of the engineering work after the approval of your map and up through the construction of your project.

Biologists, Traffic Consultants, Acoustical Experts and other Consultants
All of these specialists are available to us on an "as-needed" basis. Shared Equity will work with these consultants every step of the way to make sure that your project is economical, timely and professionally designed.

Community Involvement
We take pride in our successful community involvement. During the submittal and review process of each project, we hold community meetings that educate neighbors about your project and about the positive effects it will have on the surrounding and immediate communities. During these meetings, if there are any concerns, we address them in a way that will help them better understand your project’s benefits. It is important that you be a good neighbor to the surrounding property owners and we plan on making you look good.

Here is an example of the community meeting flyer we used for one project.

Land use application preparation and submittals
Our experienced staff can obtain, interpret and prepare all documents required for city review in order to expedite the approval process. We work with the cities and counties to make sure you are in compliance with county and state laws, codes and other requirements.

In addition we can assist you in making sure that the property you are buying, or currently own, can be developed in an economical manner.
