A development must meet two basic components of design. The first criteria is that it is designed in a way that will fit the market in terms of its design and purpose. The second criteria for design is that it must be structurally adequate and perform in the way that it is expected to operate.
The first criteria addresses the functional aspect of design. The purpose and intended use of a development is typically determined during the market analysis and financial feasibility stage of development. Tools such as market studies back of the envelope financial analysis can be use to determine these factors.
The second criteria addresses the physical aspect of design. Physical attributes can range from space and intended use accommodations all the way to zoning regulations and site limitations. While zoning ordinances can easily be found with a small amount of online research, site conditions may be less obvious. Environmental studies and soil analysis tests may be implemented to determine the physical attributes of a site.

In order for a development to succeed it must meet both the physical and functional needs of the target audience. A development should meet the needs of its intended end user, however, physical limitations must be observed and integrated into the design process.
