Jan:
I think it's a little unfair to bring this up now that no one can "build to suit" the way we did back in 2004-2005. It appears that new buyers can't do anything, at least not before-hand, only after they've laid out oodles of money for their new home.
After 42 years in my now-100-plus-year-old three-story (plus full basement) relic up north, I had the best time doing my own place. There were a couple of modifications I would like to have done that wouldn't "fit" the lot on which the house sits, but now I'm just too happy to be here to care about that sort of thing. I continue to be mystified as to why The Developer abandoned the option, despite the obvious "bottom-line" benefits to him!
