        "text": "A ground-up restaurant build involves constructing a new building from the foundation up on vacant land. This offers maximum design flexibility but typically has a longer timeline and higher costs. A tenant improvement (TI) project, conversely, involves renovating an existing space within a shell building or a previously occupied unit. TIs are generally faster and less expensive but come with the constraints of the existing structure and landlord agreements. Both require specialized commercial construction expertise.",
