A Disciplined Process from Opportunity to Completion
Latitude 98 takes a practical, hands-on approach to real estate development throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We identify opportunities, evaluate risk, create a clear development strategy, and manage each project through planning, construction, and final disposition.
Our goal is to create well-designed, financially sound projects that respond to the needs of the surrounding community and deliver lasting value.
Orlando & Central Florida
Our primary development territory includes Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
We pursue opportunities in established neighbourhoods, growing suburban markets, infill locations, transportation corridors, airport communities, and areas positioned for long-term residential or commercial growth.
Our regional focus allows us to understand better local market conditions, zoning requirements, construction costs, buyer and tenant demand, and the unique development challenges found throughout Central Florida.
Our Development Process
1. Opportunity Identification
Every project begins with identifying the right opportunity.
We evaluate land, existing properties, underutilised sites, redevelopment opportunities, and locations where thoughtful development can create meaningful value.
2. Feasibility
Before moving forward, we complete a detailed feasibility review.
This may include:
- Market demand
- Zoning and future land use
- Site access and utilities
- Environmental conditions
- Wetlands and drainage
- Construction costs
- Development timelines
- Projected revenue and returns
This process helps determine whether a project is financially, physically, and operationally viable.
3. Acquisition
Once an opportunity meets our development criteria, we structure and complete the acquisition.
We work to create purchase terms that provide sufficient time for inspections, due diligence, financing, title review, surveys, environmental evaluations, and development planning.
4. Planning and Entitlements
We coordinate with local municipalities, consultants, engineers, land planners, and other professionals to establish the development plan and secure the required approvals.
Depending on the project, this may include:
- Rezoning
- Comprehensive plan amendments
- Variances
- Conditional-use approvals
- Site-plan approval
- Subdivision approval
- Development agreements
- Utility and access coordination
5. Design
We develop a design that balances appearance, functionality, construction efficiency, market demand, and long-term value.
Our design process may involve architects, civil engineers, structural engineers, landscape architects, interior designers, and speciality consultants.
Each project is designed around the site, the surrounding community, and the needs of its future owners, tenants, customers, or users.
6. Permitting
After the design and development approvals are completed, we manage the permitting process.
We coordinate the submission, review, revision, and approval of the required construction documents and agency permits to ensure the project moves forward efficiently.
7. Construction
Latitude 98 oversees construction with a focus on quality, scheduling, cost control, communication, and accountability.
We work closely with contractors, subcontractors, consultants, vendors, and inspectors throughout the construction process.
Our involvement continues from site preparation and vertical construction through final finishes, inspections, and project closeout.
8. Completion
Before a project is delivered, we confirm that the work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans, permits, specifications, and quality expectations.
The completion phase may include:
- Final inspections
- Certificates of occupancy
- Punch-list completion
- Utility activation
- Landscaping
- Final documentation
- Owner or tenant turnover
9. Sale, Lease or Long-Term Ownership
Every project is developed with a clear long-term strategy.
Depending on the property and market conditions, Latitude 98 may:
- Sell the completed project
- Lease the property to tenants
- Operate the property
- Retain it as a long-term investment
- Complete the project with a strategic partner
This flexibility allows us to select the approach that creates the strongest long-term outcome for the project.
Local Knowledge. Clear Execution. Long-Term Value.
From the first opportunity review through completion, Latitude 98 approaches development with discipline, creativity, and a long-term perspective.
We are committed to building projects that strengthen communities, respond to market demand, and contribute to the continued growth of Orlando and Central Florida.
