Site Selection

With real estate development experts in nearly 300 markets around the world, we have the market knowledge necessary to select the best site for your future development project. We will begin by reviewing property in the desired area, and then short-list those that meet the pre-determined criteria. From there, we will perform extensive due diligence relative to permitting, regulatory requirements, and potential corporate tax incentives.

Additionally, the team will:

Develop comprehensive project cost analyses and schedules for the short-listed sites.
Examine a full array of available financing structures, including ownership, conventional mortgage financing, credit tenant lease financing, synthetic lease financing, and joint venture financing, based upon your credit condition.
Analyze tax incentive programs proposed by state and local municipalities.
Conduct sensitivity analyses to evaluate the impact of each location, tax incentive package and available financing structures on cash flow, earnings and balance sheets.
Develop a web-enabled database that provides you with immediate access to site descriptions, market analysis, photography, maps, and zoning information for all sites.
Conduct meetings and negotiations with public officials on various site, infrastructure and economic development issues.

At the end of this exhaustive process, we will recommend a site for your final consideration, negotiate the terms, and secure the site on your behalf. Clients who have enjoyed the benefits of our site selection services include Convergys Corporation.
