Project and real estate Consulting

Especially in this time of economic uncertainty and constant change, new developments can be difficult to

start or move forward with, or may require strategic repositioning efforts. Real estate development consultants

can help optimize financial investment, and minimize risk.

During project conception and predevelopment, development consultants help with strategy and defining

the project so it aligns with the owner/investor’s goals. This includes tasks such as:

  • Analyzing feasibility for the highest and best use for the asset or land

  • Perform in-depth financial underwriting, including a conceptual budget and cash flow pro forma

  • Procuring financing and debt, and ensuring covenants are met

  • Identifying and procuring incentive and grant programs

  • Reviewing property due diligence

  • Coordinating entitlements and permitting

  • Planning the scope, phasing, and project delivery method

  • Managing the bidding process for the project team (such as architects and construction managers)

  • Operations and asset management planning

  • Overseeing design and construction

  • Mitigating risk

  • Assessing change orders and issues while constantly reconciling with the budget and schedule

  • Developing a marketing and lease strategy

  • Closing out the project so items don’t linger after completion
