What Are Land Entitlements?
Land entitlements are the legal approvals required to develop a piece of land for a specific use. This process can involve rezoning, utility permits, environmental assessments, and other steps. Understanding the entitlement process is key to unlocking the potential of underutilized properties.
Opportunities in the Lowcountry
1. Current Trends in Land Development
Demand for Versatility: Municipalities in South Carolina are increasingly receptive to innovative land use strategies, particularly in areas affected by population growth.
Infill Development: Opportunities exist to reimagine underutilized land in established neighborhoods, aligning with community goals for improved infrastructure and housing.
