Selling a Development Opportunity in Davis Square

There are two common scenarios I see around the Davis Square area, whether Somerville or Cambridge, for a development opportunity. The first is a large lot size - if you have a large lot, ideally 7,500 square feet plus - there is a decent chance that developers are going to want to look at property to see what is possible. That may mean simply building an addition on your property OR it may mean building a “cottage” as they call it in Somerville zoning lingo OR it may mean splitting your lot and building a 3-family on the other lot and expanding the footprint of your existing property.

But if you don’t know where to begin or who to hire or how to market what you learn to the right people, I guarantee you will be leaving some serious meat on the bone of any sale. So if you think you may have a development opportunity on your hand close to Davis Square but aren’t quite sure what the first step is, give me a ring at 617-833-7457!
