003 The Challenges of Small Development with Pegy Brimhall
Manage episode 432532385 series 3591130
Peggy Brimhall, a local developer in San Antonio, shares her journey into development and her experience with infill projects. She started off in finance and majored in architecture before venturing into development. Her first project was a four-unit townhome in Historic Government Hill, which she saw as an opportunity to improve the neighborhood. She faced challenges with zoning and community opposition but persevered. She then moved on to a 20-unit project in the non-historic part of Government Hill. Peggy discusses the challenges of small-scale infill development and the need for incentives and support. She also talks about the challenges of bank financing for small projects and her strategy for finding investors. She also highlights the importance of market research and community involvement in the development process. Pegy's goal is to continue making an impact in both small and large-scale projects to address the housing deficit in the city.
