Strategic Land Acquisition for High-Value Development
Buying and Selling Property Lots and Land
Lake West actively acquires and sells land throughout the western Twin Cities. Our portfolio ranges from suburban infill sites to larger residential developments.
Our focus is on residential and mixed-use suburban developments, including villa homes, single-family neighborhoods, and multifamily communities. Each site is carefully evaluated for its market potential and community impact.
Due Diligence
We believe in research. We dig deep in order to discover as much information as possible in order to make a sound judgment on a piece of land. Our multi-disciplinary team of experts includes builders, land developers, city code experts, engineers, surveyors and land planners.
When we are satisfied that a parcel of land is well suited for a specific project and will make a positive contribution to the community we move forward. If not, we’ll pass.
Location
Our comprehensive location analysis will enable us to match the land to its best potential use. We acquire land that will be attractive to high-end developers with the means to transform it into a beautiful positive advantage for the community.
We get builders direct access to great properties, in great areas, with great potential. Our thinking is guided by a sense of responsibility and stewardship of the land. That doesn’t include large, sprawling suburban housing developments or big-box stores on the fringes of town. Our locations are thoughtfully chosen for their potential to provide high-quality urban infill .
Marketability
We make it work for everyone involved. Besides location, we investigate every factor that influences marketability. Before we start working with a builder, we ensure that all necessary approvals are in place so that development can proceed efficiently.
Whether it’s creating new uses for non-productive property, or revitalizing underperforming property, the land acquisition experts at Lake West will help your property meet its highest potential.
