- The warehouse is built on 100% owned land and valued at 50 times income per capita.
- The construction process takes 30 weeks (excluding administrative delays).

Key Reforms and Initiatives

Tax ID (RUT): The process to obtain a RUT number is streamlined and can be done online.
One-Stop Shop (VTM): Some municipalities, including Santiago, have implemented a one-stop shop for construction-related procedures, aiming to reduce time and cost.
Provisional Installation Permits: These permits allow for temporary services during construction, reducing delays.
Building Permit Process: The process involves an external reviewer and is based on the building's material and structure, as well as its positive attributes.
