Brian Gordon Projects Quotations

We're looking for demand to continue to stabilize as projects move forward. It is slowing down, there's no doubt about it.

Only 35 to 40 percent of future projects are expected to move forward by 2010. There is insufficient market demand to absorb all of the units currently in the development pipeline.

Reservations don't equal sales. There are several investors placing refundable deposits on multiple projects around town. But when it comes time to sign the contract, they will often re-evaluate their selection.

Those projects with an extended sales period have higher development risks given the increased potential for rising construction costs. Those projects with experienced, well-financed development teams as well as strong locations and good branding are more likely to succeed.
