Is construction of a home mandatory within a certain timeframe after purchasing a lot?
The condominium regulations are in their final stage, but it is expected that buyers will have a maximum of four (4) years to build a house on the lot.
Are buyers required to use a specific builder, or are they free to build with their own contractor?
Buyers are free to choose their own builder. However, we will have an on-site professional construction crew, represented by our group, to facilitate remote building and offer a cost-effective solution for our clients.
Beyond the list price of the lot, what additional costs should buyers expect (e.g., taxes, closing costs, legal fees)?
