A buyer may visit a temporary showroom, located near to the proposed location of the building to see models and floor plans of the various units the seller hopes to construct, or simply receive a package with this information electronically. Purchasing at this stage allows the buyer to have greater control in the outcome of their unit. They can make a different type of investment and purchase at a lower price per square foot than what is typically available post-construction.
