Love seeing architects make the leap into development and investing — your background in design and construction already gives you a huge edge.

I'm in a related part of the industry (3D visualization and layout support for interiors and built-ins), and while I’m not local to Sarasota, I’ve seen specialty fabricators build solid relationships by connecting with:• Independent interior designers – often looking for trusted fabricators• High-end residential contractors – especially those who care about detail• Architects focused on custom homes – they value partners with strong finish execution

It's like a development deal in considering your engineers and architects as partners.

Quote from @Craig NA: I am an architect in Florida, where REM Capital (Robert) signed a contract for architectural professional services in January 2024.

Although many of Onofrio’s investors stopped paying on their promissory notes following Onofrio’s indictment in this case, Onofrio netted at least $35,745,252 from his fraudulent scheme before being caught.District of Minnesota | Architect of Massive $420 Million Bank Fraud Scheme Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison | United States Department of Justice He already paid out $35M, so unless they are giving it back, that's gone.  

I would recommend speaking with a local architect and local civil engineer.

To get it permitted you have to pay for an architect, engineer, permit fees, and possibly open up walls to make sure the correct beams, plumbing, electrical, etc. is present. 

The architects and teams behind the project are highly regarded and exceptional at what they do.
