And some don't even get announced, they just start (like Drewlo).

Much of it, I think, depends on whether the developer has sufficient financing to proceed immediately, or whether they are announcing the project so that they can start looking for funding.

Yes, I assume that financing is the key factor, but then one wonders why some projects can attract it, while others struggle, in the absence of anything obvious that would make one project seem more attractive/viable than another?  I guess it all becomes easier for developers, like Drewlo and Auburn, that have very deep pockets.

Just like any business ... a good product doesn't guarantee success. Especially the tech graveyards are littered with outstanding ideas that failed the ultimate test of marketplace.

Management. Concept. Marketing. Experience. Stability. Credibility. All of that will impact your ability to secure financing.
