Real Estate Development

Building Stronger Communities Across Central Florida

Latitude 98 is a privately owned real estate development company focused on identifying, acquiring, improving, and developing properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida.

Our work includes residential, commercial, mixed-use, aviation, hospitality, recreational, and speciality development. We approach each project with a practical understanding of the site, the surrounding market, construction costs, entitlement requirements, and the long-term needs of the community.

From individual infill homes to larger master-planned concepts, Latitude 98 manages opportunities from initial evaluation through planning, construction, completion, and long-term ownership or sale.

Our Development Focus

Latitude 98 evaluates a broad range of real estate opportunities based on location, market demand, financial feasibility, and long-term value.

Land Acquisition and Redevelopment

Some of the strongest opportunities begin with underutilised, overlooked, or poorly positioned properties.

We evaluate:

  • Vacant land
  • Distressed properties
  • Infill parcels
  • Existing buildings suitable for redevelopment
  • Properties requiring rezoning or entitlements
  • Long-term land investments
  • Adaptive reuse opportunities
  • Strategic assemblages
  • Public-private partnerships

Our Development Approach

Every project follows a clear and disciplined development process.

Opportunity Identification

We identify properties and markets where thoughtful development can create meaningful value.

Feasibility

We evaluate zoning, land use, utilities, access, environmental conditions, market demand, construction costs, financing, timelines, and projected returns.

Acquisition

We structure acquisitions with appropriate due diligence, inspection, title, survey, environmental, and financing protections.

Planning and Entitlements

We work with municipalities, planners, engineers, attorneys, architects, and consultants to establish a viable development plan and obtain necessary approvals.

Design

Each project is designed to balance functionality, appearance, construction efficiency, market demand, and long-term durability.

Permitting

We coordinate the submission, review, revision, and approval of required permits and construction documents.

Construction

Latitude 98 oversees construction with a focus on quality, scheduling, cost control, communication, and accountability.

Completion

We manage final inspections, punch-list items, certificates of occupancy, utility activation, landscaping, documentation, and project turnover.

Sale, Lease or Long-Term Ownership

Depending on the project, Latitude 98 may sell the completed property, lease it, operate it, retain it as a long-term investment, or complete it with strategic partners.

Orlando and Central Florida

Latitude 98 actively evaluates development opportunities throughout:

  • Orange County
  • Seminole County
  • Lake County
  • Osceola County
  • Volusia County
  • Polk County

Our regional focus allows us to understand the different market conditions, approval processes, infrastructure limitations, growth patterns, and development opportunities found throughout Central Florida.

We do not treat every market the same. Each property is evaluated based on its specific location, surrounding community, zoning, environmental conditions, infrastructure, and long-term potential.

What We Look for in a Property

Latitude 98 considers opportunities involving:

  • Vacant or underutilised land
  • Existing properties with redevelopment potential
  • Residential infill lots
  • Commercial parcels
  • Airport and aviation properties
  • Properties requiring entitlement work
  • Distressed or incomplete developments
  • Larger land tracts
  • Income-producing properties
  • Joint venture opportunities
  • Seller-financed acquisitions
  • Long-term investment properties

A strong opportunity does not always begin with a perfect property. It begins with a clear path to creating value.

Development With a Long-Term Perspective

Our objective is not simply to construct buildings. We aim to create projects that are financially sound, well designed, durable, marketable, and appropriate for the communities in which they are located.

We consider how each project will function during construction, at completion, and many years into the future.

That means paying close attention to:

  • Site planning
  • Construction quality
  • Storm resilience
  • Energy efficiency
  • Maintenance requirements
  • Operational costs
  • Community compatibility
  • Market demand
  • Long-term ownership value

Partner With Latitude 98

We welcome opportunities to work with:

  • Property owners
  • Landowners
  • Investors
  • Brokers
  • Municipalities
  • Contractors
  • Architects and engineers
  • Business owners
  • Airport operators
  • Strategic development partners

Whether you have land to sell, a property that needs redevelopment, an investment opportunity, or a concept that requires an experienced development partner, Latitude 98 is interested in exploring the possibilities.

Let’s Build What Comes Next

Latitude 98 brings together opportunity identification, practical planning, hands-on execution, and long-term vision to create meaningful real estate projects throughout Central Florida.
