LANDacq believes that there are four strategic components to the successful acquisition and development of land in today’s antigrowth environment:

• Maximize Land Value
• Smart Growth Design Principles
• Experience
• Financial Strength and Perseverance

The goal of the land seller and purchaser is to “Maximize Land Value”. In addition, we want to achieve this maximum land value through the use of existing zoning regulations while preserving the distinctive flavor of desirable neighborhoods and surrounding natural spaces. As a developer, LANDacq wants to develop a project that will be an asset to the local community.

To accomplish this LANDacq uses “Smart Growth Design Principles”. Smart growth design principles encourage the innovative use of land parcels and take into account the character and environment of the surrounding community. Open space preservation, the clustering of structures, traditional neighborhood design, and modern land planning are all components of smart growth design principles which enhance a community and maximize land value.

LANDacq has significant “Experience” with smart growth design principles. Michael Walker, the owner of LANDacq, has acquired and/or managed numerous smart growth projects including the conversion of an abandoned and contaminated urban school site into a luxury townhouse project; the development of a quarry into an award winning active adult community; a traditional neighborhood project of 180+ homes which included the transfer of development rights; and a 90+ home community where approximately 75% of the land will be preserved as open space.

LANDacq has the experience to efficiently navigate projects through the complex approval and permit process, including contamination issues such as pesticides and organic compounds. Mr. Walker draws upon his 20+ years of experience as an engineer (13 as a licensed professional engineer) to make sure that smart growth design principles are implemented and maximum land value is achieved.

Financial Strength and Perseverance are required to succeed in today’s anti-development climate. Governmental agencies have added numerous requirements to the development approval process including, archeological studies, potable water investigations, sanitary sewer investigations, endangered species studies, detailed traffic investigations, etc. A developer has to be well financed to process the approvals for a development. In addition, a developer has to have the courage to fight for the development even if it requires a costly court battle.

LANDacq will incorporate the four strategic components of a successful acquisition into our purchase of your land.
