"Every developer in turn wanted to do the same thing."
It is easy to see why developers want the site.
Some believe a developer wanted to kill the tree to free the land.
After he died, developers wanted to build houses on the land.
Now a developer wants the property at ten times the price!
But that is not always possible, because many developers want to begin sales before homes are ready.
The real question, the developers want to know, is who started the rumors?
"But the developer and our office wanted to do something meaningful."
Certainly, at industry events, developers want to do more than drink and dance.
So the developer wants to build fast before there's too much competition.
