Heine admits his Preston Estates
project “kind of got held up,” but says
he is now “back on track” and expects
to complete the project in 2020.

Some infrastructure has been in-
stalled at the site, but Heine said it
will take a few more months to fin-
ish land development. Once sitework
is complete – in February or March –
construction will go vertical.

He envisions 27 two-unit buildings
plus one lone single-family house
situated around a lake in the center of
the property. While the city calls them
duplex units, Heine refers to them as
single-story townhomes. They will be
set up as fee simple units, meaning
buyers will own their portion of the
unit.

Meanwhile, as the development
process proceeds, Heine has listed
the entire property for sale as a fin-
ished site with ready-to-build lots for
$3.3 million.

According to county records,
the parcel was last sold in 2016 for
$572,000, so if Heine completed the
site work and sold the eight acres for
$3 million or so, it appears it would be
a profitable venture.

“If I get my price, I can’t turn it
down,” Heine said, adding that he ful-
ly intends to build the neighborhood
in the coming year if no one steps up
to buy the tract as buildable land.
