“Sans Surprises Domaines”1. Developer owns a ¾ block which is currently leased to a
self-park operator. Site is located in the City of Seattle.2. Developer sees it as a very good site for either
apartments or condominiums. Hasn’t decided which makes sense.
3. Developer has authorized some preliminary design work based on apartments, but is concerned that he is missing the boat on what s/he has heard are much better profit margins in condominium versus apartment development.
4. Architect thinks the site, with a 65 foot height limit, will accommodate 5 floors and about 150 units.
5. Developer doesn’t like surprises, just as the concept name suggests.
6. Condos vs. Apartments: How will the choice affect risk and the concepts already discussed?
