How many teardown opportunities are there in Belmont?

What is the typical developer ROI on a Belmont teardown?

We do not publish a single Belmont figure, because there is no honest one: returns swing on land cost, buildable envelope, and comps. Instead, every Belmont property page carries an interactive build-to-zoning proforma — purchase, demolition, construction at current costs, cost of sale against size-matched comps — so each lot is underwritten on its own numbers.
