Alliance Development LLC

New logo for our Dream Garage Condo|Stone Oak project! Nearly have everything in place to start taking reservations. From the beginning, we have said that we are going to take our time and do this right. Not cutting corners, not skipping steps and not rushing through it. This is a new product type for us, so it took alot of due diligence and learning from the mistakes of others in the space. For example, we could have just set up a bank account, do up a contract and started taking reservations (there have been others that have done this). That didn't sit right with us, so we met with our attorney and the people at Chicago Title, (a prominent and trusted name in the title industry) we spent the extra time and money to do it correctly. Now the customer knows where their money is going. Their reservation fee is fully refundable until we break ground on the project. Now our customers can have peace of mind knowing that their reservation fee won't be touched by anyone. We try to think about these decisions as if we were in our client's shoes. At the end of the day, the money is a perk for us at Alliance, it is not our WHY. We do this because we love transforming communities, we love to see something come together, through teamwork and hard work. Projects like #dreamgaragecondos are exciting and hugely rewarding, especially when you have a team that believes deeply in the project's success like ours does. We are incredibly fortunate to work with such talented and great people every day. They say it takes a village to pull off a project like this, but that village better be full of qualified/experienced people or your village is going to build nada man ??♂?

I went to one of our pre development meetings at the city of San Antonio and it had me thinking about this subject on the way home... Balancing Commercial Space with Zoning Restrictions: Navigating the intersection of urban development and zoning regulations can be tricky, but it’s possible to create win-win solutions for both developers and communities. Here are some strategies I’ve found effective: 1?? Understand Market Needs and Zoning Constraints A solid feasibility study ensures your project aligns with market demand while staying within zoning guidelines. It’s the first step to setting the right foundation. 2?? Collaborate Early with Stakeholders Engage residents, local officials, and business owners early to build trust and gain insights. Public-private partnerships are also key to creating value for both the community and developers. 3?? Leverage Mixed-Use and Adaptive Reuse Models Mixed-use developments and converting underutilized spaces into vibrant hubs maximize land efficiency while staying within zoning limits. 4?? Sustainability and Smart Design Matter Green spaces, energy-efficient buildings, and transit-friendly designs not only meet environmental goals but can also help secure zoning support. 5?? Use Data to Stay Adaptive Tracking economic performance and community needs over time ensures your project remains relevant and flexible in the face of evolving regulations. 6?? Creative Zoning Solutions Explore overlay districts, variances, or conditional permits to unlock innovative opportunities while complying with local ordinances. With thoughtful planning and proactive collaboration, developers can strike the right balance between commercial needs and community goals. Have you faced zoning challenges in your projects? I’d love to hear how you tackled them! ?? #UrbanDevelopment #CommercialRealEstate #MixedUseDevelopment #RealEstateInvesting #Zoning #CommunityEngagement #SustainableDesign

Boost your real estate insights by understanding Equity Multiple: ?? What Is the Equity Multiple? The equity multiple is a key metric for real estate investors, particularly in commercial real estate, that measures the total return on invested capital. Unlike ROI, which expresses returns as a percentage, the equity multiple uses a ratio to show how much your investment has grown. Think of it like this: An equity multiple of 2.0x means that for every $1 invested, you get $2 back – including your initial investment and profits. Anything above 1.0x means a profit, while less than 1.0x indicates a loss. --- How to Calculate the Equity Multiple Formula: Equity Multiple = (Sale Proceeds + Cumulative Cash Flow) / Total Invested Cash Example: Initial Investment: $20,000 down payment + $2,000 closing costs + $15,000 rehab = $37,000 Sale Proceeds (after 10 years): $93,405 Cash Flow Collected Over 10 Years: $37,290 Equity Multiple = ($93,405 + $37,290) / $37,000 = 3.53x This means for every $1 invested, you earn $3.50 when the property is sold, including your initial investment and profits. --- Equity Multiple vs. ROI & IRR ROI: Measures total return as a percentage. In our example, the 3.53x equity multiple translates to 253% ROI. IRR: Reflects the annualized rate of return over time and accounts for the time value of money, which the equity multiple does not. Use Case: Use the equity multiple to evaluate the overall profitability of your investment. Use IRR to measure how efficiently your investment performs on an annual basis. --- Why Does Equity Multiple Matter? The equity multiple is a powerful tool for comparing investment opportunities and assessing total profitability. If you're holding an asset for a long period, it gives a straightforward snapshot of the cumulative returns you can expect. For the best results, combine both equity multiple and IRR to get a complete view of your investment performance. --- ??

We have been on their advisory board meetings giving them feedback, while they have been putting final touches on the Cactus program. I have to say I think this program is going to be a game changer for underwriting deals. Very user friendly, yet it's still very thorough.

The future of commercial real estate is evolving rapidly, and those who adapt will thrive. Here’s my vision for the next decade and how we’re preparing for it. The lines between physical and digital spaces are blurring. Hybrid work models are here to stay, impacting office spaces significantly. More companies are seeking flexible leases and shared spaces. Sustainable and smart buildings will dominate. Energy efficiency and tech integration aren't just trends; they're necessities. Retail spaces are transforming into experiential hubs. Consumers crave unique, in-person experiences that online shopping can't offer. Mixed-use developments are growing, blending residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. We're investing in tech and smart developments, from virtual tours to AI-driven property management to the benefits of blockchain technology in our development process. We are emphasizing sustainability, and upgrading our properties to meet eco-friendly standards. Also by leveraging these incentives, you can substantially impact your bottom line. Adapting now means leading tomorrow. How are you preparing for the changes ahead in your industry?
