Key Takeaways:When determining the price per square foot to pay for industrial land for development, survey recent comparable sales in the area to see what the market is paying. Take into account the specific zoning as that can impact pricing.As a general rule of thumb, you'll want the land cost to be around 20-25% of your total development costs (including hard and soft costs). This can help guide what price per square foot makes sense.For a 4,000 sq ft commercial space you're looking to lease out, the main marketing strategies suggested are:Hire a commercial real estate broker to list and market the spaceList the space on online marketplaces Put up a prominent, eye-catching "for lease" sign on the propertyWhen raising capital for commercial real estate projects, the key is to start networking and letting your contacts know you're actively looking for investors, rather than waiting until you have a deal.

RE-RUN If you have the money to put anything you could possibly want in your home, should you do it? This episode's guest, “Hank” did, and as a result, his home ended up being 24,000 square feet. But with 24,000 square feet, there is a lot to go wrong. So are the upkeep, repairs, and bills worth the square footage? Can a home with all the fancy features you can imagine actually bring more joy to your life? Building (or buying) a house this size is no small feat, and there are numerous things to consider before pulling the trigger, such as your stage in life, your family situation, and how much you enjoy your free time. In this episode we explore the mega house. We'll learn about who this type of home is for, the pros, the cons, and all the caveats to be aware of. And this is Moneywise, so we'll get into all the nitty gritty numbers to learn how “Hank” can afford a home this massive and all of the expenses associated with it. He'll also share if he ever plans on moving. We even speak with Ryan Thewes, an architect who designs private residences in the Nashville area. He shares the most commonly requested features, the type of clients he typically gets, and the coolest things he's ever designed. And we have him answer the question: Would you ever move into one of these mega mansions yourself? By the end of the episode, if you are convinced that a mega mansion is right for you, we'll leave you with some advice on how you should go about making your dream home a reality. This is Moneywise, a podcast where host Sam Parr is joined by high-net-worth guests to explore exclusive insights into personal finance and lifestyle tailored for other high-net-worth people, or those on their way. They'll get radically transparent about the numbers, revealing things like their burn rates, portfolios, and spending habits. Who is Sam Parr? Sam is a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder of The Hustle, which he sold to HubSpot in 2021. He's also the co-host of one of the world's top podcasts for entrepreneurs, My First Million. Known for his insightful business acumen and candid communication style, Sam Parr continues to be a prominent figure in the world of media and entrepreneurship. Sam's newest and biggest venture yet is Hampton, which he co-founded in 2022. This podcast was made for the Hampton community, a private, highly-vetted, peer membership community for founders and CEOs of fast-growing, tech-enabled startups. Chapters: How Hank made his money (3:05) How Hank ended up in a mega mansion (5:02) Building costs (7:47) Hank's house's coolest features (14:08) The coolest features Ryan has designed (17:14) Who this kind of house is best for (18:26) Advice for prospective mega mansion owners (28:47) This podcast was produced in partnership with Lower Street and distributed by Morning Brew.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, we're joined by Patrice and Justin La Vigne. Over the past decade-plus, Patrice and Justin have traded their corporate grind for, in their words, “a life less ordinary.” From their first thru-hike of the AT in 2011 (drink), to managing a hostel, embarking on multiple van tours to spread the thru-hiking gospel, thru-hiking the TA in New Zealand, and now living in a 300-square-foot cabin on the outskirts of Denali National Park in Alaska—they've done it all.  We dive into how they restructured their lives around adventure, what it's really like living in a tiny cabin in remote Alaska, why moose are jerks, the challenges of thru-hiking with Crohn's, and much more. We wrap the show with the story of a man accused of staging a bear attack to cover up a murder, what the funniest sounding fart is (and introducing Chaunce to the world of covering your farts), and the triple crown of New Year's Resolutions.  Gossamer Gear: Use code “SNUGGLEBUG” for 20% off shelters at gossamergear.com.  CTDC: Donate $35 or more or sign up for monthly donations at cdtcoalition.org.

President Daniel Brown 1. Example Tours by Meidansha Inc. President Daniel Brown 2. Kobe Convention Center (400,000 SQ FT) | Tour by https://virtualtour.productions/kobe_convention_center/kkc2024/index.htm 3. Kobe Convention Center is a complex of 4 Large Buildings (Here is one of the buildings.) https://3d.walkthroughs.online/show/?m=HDSJBxoVgvu 4. Kobe International Exhibition Hall 2 | Includes Scans from a Leica BLK360 G1 https://3d.walkthroughs.online/show/?m=V1Tz56PTino Some of the questions I will ask Daniel: 1. Project Origin: How did this project come about? ✓ How did you connect with the tourism board for this project? ✓ Did they approach you or did you reach out to them? ✓ How did you first understand the scale and scope of the project? 2. Quoting and Pricing: How did you approach pricing for such a large project? ✓ What was your pricing strategy for a project of this scale? ✓ Did you charge a fixed fee, bill by the day, charge by the SQ FT? ✓ How did you estimate the number of days or resources required for the project? 3.

(e.g., Matterport Pro2, Leica BLK360, DSLR, 360 camera) ✓ What software platforms did you use? ✓ How did you decide which tools were best for the project's requirements? 5. Problem Solving: What challenges did you encounter with such a large space? ✓ What were the unique challenges with scanning a 400,000 square foot space? ✓ How did you manage large open spaces that may not have many visual reference points? ✓ Were there any lighting challenges in different parts of the convention center? ✓ How did you overcome GPS or connectivity issues while scanning? 6. Workflow and Execution: How did you organize the workflow for this large-scale project? ✓ How many scanning days did this project require? ✓ How did you ensure continuity when scanning different sections of the building over time? ✓ What was your approach for balancing speed and quality in such a large project? 7. Managing Multiple Technologies: How did you integrate various tools and platforms? ✓ How did you manage the use of multiple platforms (Matterport, 3DVista, MPEmbed, Google Earth)? ✓ Did you use different tools for different sections of the building? ✓ How did you maintain consistency between different types of media (3D scans, photos, 360 panoramas)? 8. Deliverables: What was delivered to the client and in what format? ✓ What were the final deliverables for the project? ✓ How did you package the tour for easy use by the client? ✓ Did you provide training or support on how to use and share the digital twin? 9. Client Feedback and Results: What was the client's response to the final product? ✓ How did the client react to the completed tour? ✓ Were there any follow-up requests or additional features they wanted? ✓ How has the tourism board been using the digital twin since its delivery? 10. Lessons Learned: What would you do differently if you could start the project again? ✓ Were there any surprises during the project that you didn't anticipate? ✓ Looking back, is there anything you would change about how you approached the project? ✓ What advice would you give to someone taking on a project of this scale for the first time? Why This Matters for Real Estate Photographers For real estate photographers used to documenting homes of 3,500 square feet, tackling a 400,000 square foot project introduces entirely new challenges and complexities. From dealing with large open spaces to managing multiple technologies, Daniel's experience can offer invaluable lessons for anyone looking to expand their business into larger commercial projects.

In this episode of the Slow Style Home Podcast, I sat down with Michael Bartz, a homeowner who built and lives in a tiny home with his partner and three cats. Michael's journey to sustainable living began in 2015 after a life-changing breakup, leading him to question traditional housing and embrace the tiny house lifestyle. He built his 175-square-foot mobile home in his brother's backyard over four years, relying on YouTube, books, and the National Tiny House Jamboree for guidance.
