Discussion about
Hello, I am trying to get some info about a new construction that is going up nearby. It's just a vacant lot right now (recently demolished). I tried to call the developer on the signs that are posted, but they said they aren't allowed to release any owner information. The owner on the posted signs is just the address followed by "LLC" so not much help. I'd love to get a jump on maybe purchasing an apartment in this future building. What can I do from here?

Sift through the documents on acris to get more corporate info and contacts, then follow up with google searches.

It's too early to purchase an apartment. For instance they would need an approved offering plan from the attorney general in order to be able to begin selling units. That is assuming they intend to Condo the site. The moment before they begin marketing would probably be the best time.

Think of it as a tree full of unripe oranges. You need to wait.

Thanks for your response, ANagin.
I'm not really looking to buy now, of course. The place doesn't even exist yet. However, I was just hoping to get in contact with the owner, to develop a dialogue first, and maybe get some very basic information (co-op or condo, rentals or sales). This will help me to know if it's even worth pursuing, and if so, might help me get a jump on things.

truthskr10- once in ACRIS, is there a particular document that I should search for? Or a place I should look for a name? "Party1" in the list just shows the LLC I mentioned earlier.

No, no real shortcuts though for each document start with the last pages first.
You never know where a signature, name or reference may be but frequently you'll find them at the end.
Sometimes a power of attorney will give you a key name.

Though I agree with the rest, I'd look elsewhere.
And given reported and unreported issues with many new developments over the last 5 years, I wouldnt put anything down on anything not completed.
