Why I Partner with Developers for Large-Scale Projects

June 24, 2025

Behind every thriving shopping center, mixed-use corridor, or logistics park is a partnership—one built on expertise, trust, and the ability to see what others don’t.

At Annie Scott Realty Group LLC, I don’t just list property—I collaborate with developers from concept to completion. Whether it’s a medical campus in Carmel, a commercial park in Greenfield, or a mixed-use district in Westfield, my role is to help developers move faster, smarter, and with confidence.

Here’s why I believe developer partnerships are essential—and how I help bring large-scale projects to life across Indiana.


1. I Identify the Right Land Before the Competition Does

Every successful project starts with the right location. I specialize in sourcing land that checks every box for developers:

  • Strategic access to high-traffic corridors and interstates
  • Proximity to utilities, schools, population growth, and infrastructure
  • Alignment with local zoning and comprehensive planning
  • Seller motivation and off-market opportunity

Because I’m deeply embedded in markets like Noblesville, Zionsville, Greenfield, and Lebanon, I often know what’s coming before it’s public. This gives my development partners a powerful head start.


2. I Navigate Local Zoning and Municipal Processes

Large-scale projects require more than dirt—they require buy-in from cities, planning commissions, and neighbors. I guide developers through:

  • Zoning research and due diligence
  • Annexation and rezoning applications
  • Public hearings and community outreach
  • Communication with city planners, economic development directors, and engineers

Because of my local relationships and reputation, I help reduce delays and gain approvals faster, especially in municipalities where growth is managed carefully.


3. I Provide Real-Time Market Intelligence

I don’t rely on last year’s data—I stay current on:

  • Absorption trends for retail, industrial, multifamily, and medical
  • Lease rates and cap rates by asset class and submarket
  • Active tenants seeking space in Indiana’s growing towns
  • Buyer and investor behavior across Hamilton and Hancock counties

This insight helps developers design projects that match real demand, not just theoretical ROI.


4. I Coordinate Team Players From Start to Finish

Large developments require coordination between:

  • Landowners
  • Attorneys
  • Engineers and civil consultants
  • Builders and general contractors
  • Marketing and lease-up teams
  • Municipal agencies

I serve as the strategic liaison, keeping communication flowing and timelines moving forward. Developers trust me to help align every moving part with the end goal: a profitable, sustainable project that serves the community.


5. I Handle Pre-Leasing, Marketing, and Exit Strategy

I don’t disappear once the land is sold or the permit is approved. I help developers:

  • Pre-lease space to anchor tenants
  • Market remaining lots or units to investors or owner-operators
  • Prepare offering memorandums for sale or recapitalization
  • Leverage my network of tenants, buyers, and broker partners to bring the right people to the table

From entitlement to lease-up or sale, I bring continuity—and help you protect your upside.


6. I Share the Vision—and Stay Grounded in Reality

Large-scale development is a big commitment. My role is to balance vision with practicality:

  • Does the site match your pro forma?
  • Is the city onboard with your use case?
  • Are there red flags with utilities, easements, or setbacks?
  • What can we do now to increase long-term value?

I help developers see the full picture—and avoid the pitfalls that can derail a project midstream.


Final Thoughts

Big projects require big thinking—but also the right local guidance. My partnerships with developers aren’t transactional—they’re built on shared goals, clear strategy, and a deep respect for the communities we’re shaping.

Whether you’re planning your next distribution center, retail plaza, or vertical mixed-use development in Indiana, I bring the local knowledge, land access, municipal insight, and hands-on service needed to execute with excellence.

Let’s build something great—together.
