South Florida offers remarkable opportunities for residential development, and some of its most desirable properties are on or near the water. Those sites come with their own requirements.

Expect more engineering and review

Coastal projects often involve flood zone considerations, wind-load design, specific foundation and elevation requirements, and additional agency review. Each one affects design, cost and schedule.

Plan the approvals path early

Knowing which approvals apply, and in what order, is part of feasibility. Building that into the schedule from the start avoids surprises after the design is finished.

Every property is different. Local knowledge and an early, coordinated review are the best ways to understand what your site will require.
