Building an Apartment Complex

As an interior designer and architecture enthusiast, Julie Cavanaugh has worked on several successful projects over the past two decades. Julie Cavanaugh is working on Sagebrush, a 90-unit apartment complex in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Constructing an apartment complex first involves researching the environment and potential tenants. The area in which you build the building or complex largely determines the tenants you will have in the building. For instance, building an apartment complex less than a kilometer from a university means that you will have many undergraduates as tenants. This knowledge allows you to design the building according to the needs of your potential tenants.

Another essential factor to consider when building an apartment complex is zoning codes. The zoning codes regulate maximum height, minimum lot sizes, and minimum building area. There are many regulations about constructing apartment buildings because they usually house many people at the same time. Hence, it is expedient to be familiar with the zoning laws in your preferred building location.

Your timeline is also a strong variable to consider when constructing an apartment building. To hasten the process, you could engage the services of a project manager. The National Association of Home Builders states that the average time for completing an apartment building is about 13 months. You could use this estimate to determine how long the construction of your apartment building should take.
