In our platform (Openland, W18) we have identified a LOT of buildings that can be built up in SF and current laws allows this. This is not high rises, but you can upgrade from 1 story to 3-4 stories easily. But why this buildings are still single story?
I suppose there are other problems like lengthy process of permitting (basically at least 1 year for issuing building permit) and entitlement (unpredictable). This huge delays reduces margins of a projects and in some cases they became unprofitable.
- L_Rahman 8y agoYou suppose there are other problems? That is the entire problem. The entire problem of building more dense housing - even 3-4 stories in SF is negotiating every single thing besides the literal physical feasibility of construction. If your startup doesn't think this is the key problem to solve, I'm not sure you have a complete grasp of what you're trying to do here.
