a mover and shaker in the real estate development world gave me a call. We met on Thursday for breakfast. We met again Saturday for lunch, a ground level tour of his model homes in Chicago. The vision this gent has unveiled is inspiring and he is keen on making this vision happen using factory built homes.
I won’t give away all the details at this moment as it wouldn’t be appropriate. What you are seeing here – this exclusive sneak preview – has been vetted and ok’d by the person in question. Sufficient to say, that this seasoned, well connected and successful pro has 400 home lots awaiting development. That and more are planned for this year, in 2010. When I say – and more – there is a metro pilot project, then a regional, then a national plan on his radar screen.
Phase one would use modular construction. Other phases and opportunities he is reviewing are open to a combination of factory built housing options; such as Modular, HUD Code and other factory building technologies.
Architecturally plans are ready.
The financing is lined up.
The legal/political/zoning elements are in place.
While an initial manufacturer stands ready, there are opportunities for more factories because as this plan develops, one production facility will not be capable of meeting the demand.
Suppliers – with national and global reach – are standing at the ready, but no doubt in my mind; others will be chomping at the bit to get a piece of this action.
The potential that this gent sees – again, using factory building! – is breathtaking. A “pilot project” of 400 homes – not floors, not modules, but 400 homes – could rapidly become the launching pad for other projects for 5500 homes. As many as 1500-2000 of those could take place in 2010.
The Future is Calling Today.
Please stay tuned to reports on future developments on this. We anticipate having an exclusive report for you, perhaps in a matter of days. We will plan on an interview with this successful visionary, who seems to understand our industry and its capabilities so well, that he is thinking with a vocabulary that too many today lack:
- Healthy Green
- Volume sales
- Customer Satisfaction
- Positive Media/PR
- “Win-Win” and Synergy.
Refreshing! I love it! This INSPIRES me and I hope it INSPIRES thousand of others in our industry – good Industry pros from coast to coast – like you!
