In this brief dialogue, Speaker A and Speaker B outline the essential steps to successfully develop a multi-family property on a $2.2 million parcel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, within a 90‑day construction window. They emphasize the need to first verify that the land is zoned for multi‑family use, then meet with planning and zoning officials to secure the necessary permits. Once permits are obtained, the next immediate action is to engage a contractor to begin site work (the "red dirt" phase). The conversation conveys excitement about being the first to build a multi‑family project on this site and underscores a fast‑track approach to development.

Now we're going to buy this land for $2.2 million. Yes. But what do we need to do first in order to make sure this project is a success? Because, you know, we normally build in 90 days or less. So how are we going to pull this off?
First, we'll meet with the officials to get the permits, contact planning and zoning, get them involved, and that'll be step one.
So do you think that we need to check and make sure this is zoned properly for multifamily first?
Yeah, that'll be a part of the zoning and planning. Okay, so let me ask you this.
Once we get that permit, then what we gonna do?
Uh, the next thing is call the contractor. That's the first thing of the new construction, red dirt.
So you want to be the first one to build a multi-family on this land in Florida? Yes, Fort Lauderdale, of course. I'm excited. Let's start building.
Let's do it.
