Very happy to have gotten my client’s new 4plex approved today at Committee of Adjustment. Garden suite was already under construction (almost done). Massive property that will be put to much better use. Ready to be 6plex, when council allows.
Imagine two cities with very different planning processes.
City A: The typical project takes 5 years.
1 year of planning, 2 years of construction, and 2 years of building operations.
City B: The typical project takes 7 years.
4 years of planning, 2.5 years of construction, and 0.5 years of building operations.
In City A, industry spends most of its time building and running buildings. In City B, industry spends most of its time doing paperwork.
Which city will have a better development industry, with higher quality buildings?
