As Florida’s population continues to grow year after year, so does the demand for housing. However, inventory has struggled to keep up the pace as the steps and risks involved in developing infrastructure have created major headwinds for the state’s top homebuilders.
Large-scale residential development has never been more challenging. Building the infrastructure for neighborhoods with 200 to 300 residential homes is a monumental effort — especially when it comes to doing the work quickly and efficiently. Not only is there an abundance of local regulations to navigate, but maintaining a profitable P&L with land on the balance sheet long-term can lead to financial challenges. Building utilities is also highly technical work and requires years of experience to successfully complete at scale.
How Jobalia Development Group Streamlines the Pre-Construction Process
Some of the nation’s top homebuilders have found success partnering with Jobalia Development Group to accelerate timelines for large-scale communities. As one of Florida’s top developers, Jobalia is well-positioned to help builders deliver high-quality communities at scale by streamlining the entire pre-construction process. Then, we deliver dozens or hundreds of beautiful, ready-to-build lots back to our partners so they can focus on what they do best — building homes. Here are some of the specific ways Jobalia adds value for our partners:
- Regulatory and Compliance – Before you can begin to build, the right permits must be secured. Navigating the permitting process can be time-intensive and complicated, and the process is different across each community. One setback can derail an entire project for weeks. Jobalia is an expert at securing necessary permitting and navigating zoning restrictions, so we can help streamline this process.
- Municipal Partnerships – Building a community requires direct coordination with local municipalities on dozens of items. Jobalia knows how to work with local governments and community groups to move a project forward quickly.
- Developing Infrastructure – A new neighborhood needs everything from roads to utilities. Jobalia can quickly and efficiently produce all the necessary infrastructure to support a new community.
- Mitigating Risk – By offloading vacant land to Jobalia, builders can reduce risk on their balance sheet, which is especially important during periods of uncertainty in the market.
Trust And Reputation Are The Foundation Of The Residential Development Industry
Developing infrastructure at scale requires a ton of experience, but trust and reputation are the key pillars for driving success in this industry. Homebuilders trust Jobalia because we deliver high-quality, ready-to-build lots time and time again. The neighborhoods we build will be home to hundreds of residents for years to come, so we never sacrifice quality. This is why our partners continue to turn to us to handle the pre-construction process. Not only do they know we’ll do a great job, but our work also allows them to maintain a strong pipeline of new construction. Plus, Jobalia works quickly and efficiently. When it comes to recent projects, we’ve completed the development of nearly 30 new neighborhoods and 5,000 new homes in just a short time span.
The Unique Challenges of Homebuilding In Florida
Residential development at scale is complicated everywhere, but Florida has a unique set of challenges. The state has an abundance of raw land; however, it has a very small amount of unimproved/improved land, so land scarcity has the potential to slow down builders’ pipelines. In addition to the typical zoning and permitting challenges, Florida also has environmental regulations that protect large areas. Environmental impact studies are often a prerequisite to residential development as well.
Because Jobalia has deep local expertise and so many strong relationships across the state, the firm is well-equipped to navigate Florida’s homebuilding headwinds, which gives our partners a competitive advantage.
With housing demands high and a shortage of ready-to-build land, Jobalia can help accelerate the construction timeline by tackling the entire pre-construction phase. We don’t just prepare land, we pave the way for new communities and long-term growth for Florida’s builders.
