The Development Process
Land development is a multi phase process that requires clear direction, early decisions, and disciplined execution. The 1122 Development Management Platform provides a structured pathway that guides projects from early evaluation through construction and occupancy, while reducing risk and maintaining momentum.
Our role is to manage the entire process on behalf of the landowner, ensuring work is completed at the right time, decisions are made with confidence, and project intent is preserved from start to finish.
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
1. PRE-DEVELOPMENT
Establishing feasibility, direction, and confidence before capital is committed
This phase focuses on understanding the site, the market, and the regulatory context before moving forward.
Typical activities include:
-
Market Research
-
Land Use Study or
Site Selection Criteria
-
Preliminary Financial Analysis
-
Concept Design &
Preliminary Site Planning
-
Feasibility Report
The objective is to confirm highest and best use, identify risks early, and determine whether a project should proceed, be refined, or be paused. Early clarity at this stage prevents costly changes later.
2. DEVELOPMENT
Turning a viable concept into an approved and buildable project
Once feasibility is established, the focus shifts to aligning design, approvals, and capital.
-
Architectural and Engineering
-
Legal Structure and Financing
-
Community & Stakeholder Engagement
-
Consultant Management and Technical Studies
-
Municipal Approvals:
-
OCP Amendments
-
Rezoning Approvals
-
Development Permits
-
Subdivision Approvals
-
Building Permits
-
This phase is managed to anticipate municipal requirements, reduce redesign, and maintain momentum through the approval process. Workstreams are advanced in parallel where possible to compress timelines.
3. CONSTRUCTION & SALES
Executing the build while protecting schedule, budget, and project intent
During construction, 1122 acts as the owner’s representative to maintain control and accountability.
-
Procurement and Contractor Selection
-
Consultant and Construction Coordination
-
Schedule, Cost, and Change Management
-
Quality Control and Reporting
-
Sales and Marketing coordination, where applicable
Construction and sales activities are closely aligned to ensure market readiness, cost discipline, and a smooth path to occupancy.
4. POST-DEVELOPMENT
Transitioning the project into occupancy and long term operation
The final phase ensures a clean and organized transition.
-
Occupancy and Key Handover
-
Project Closeout and Documentation
-
Final Parnership Distributions
-
Support with Operations, Asset Management, or disposition.
This phase protects long term value by ensuring the project is delivered as intended and properly handed over to ownership or operations.
A Clear Path Forward
While every project is different, the underlying process remains consistent. Early decisions, aligned teams, and continuous leadership from concept through completion.
The 1122 Development Management Platform provides landowners with clarity, control, and a predictable pathway to successful outcomes.
Activities Throughout the Development Process
Successful development requires more than moving from phase to phase. Key activities must be initiated early, refined continuously, and aligned from planning through delivery. Development Management ensures these activities are sequenced correctly, updated as conditions change, and always driven by the end outcome.
