Redevelopment

Commercial redevelopment is one of the most profitable exit strategies for real estate investors.  Our experience with revitalization projects includes creative planning to meet the needs of the community and developers. We are experts in reconfiguring old properties to create new sophisticated income-producing real estate that stimulates economic growth and value return in the local community.

Permitting and Entitlements

Developing in some of the fastest-growing markets in the U.S. requires resources, relationships, and strategy. We help you obtain permits for your intended use that works within the existing municipality plan. If we cannot execute our plan within existing zoning we recommend an experienced team of local land use and entitlement experts to oversee the process end-to-end. These experts include:

  • Land Use Attorneys
  • Architects
  • Engineers
  • Environmental
  • Lobbyists

Site Selection

We use data to look at every property in a trade area and determine the most opportunistic sites that match the business model. We identify the highest and best use of a potential development site and understand the legal rights within the current zoning. We target the best positions within the trade area to provide a competitive advantage and timeless positions as the area grows. Retailers and developer partners benefit from our systematic approach to opening up new markets.
