Our Unique Approach

Are you an owner who wants to optimize the value or your real estate? This requires careful consideration of what the highest and best use might be at a specific point in time. This is a moving target that changes with market demand and supply, the development of surrounding properties, population changes and government policy changes.

Our expertise and unique insight comes from over fifty years of development and construction experience. We are known for creative deal-making, innovative design and our expertise to know what works and what doesn't. We will not take on a project unless we can add considerable value. We only work to achieve your agreed objectives. We have no conflicts of interest.

This a very tightly focused, niche service. We add value far beyond traditional feasibility consultants simply because we are the best at what we do. We have the experience and track record to back this up. Just ask us for specific examples of what we have achieved that relate to your property and location.

1.  Initial Discussion and Review:

• At no cost we study all aspects of your property to determine if redevelopment or repositioning could add considerable value.
• If there are no immediate viable options to explore that could substantially increase value, we will share our reasons and insight with you at no cost whatsoever.

2.  Optimizing Value Process:

• Once we decide there is a clearly defined opportunity, we quote our clients a very modest fixed fee along with an estimate of disbursements.
• Our incentive fee is performance based calculated as a percentage of the dollar value increase we can successfully achieve.
