Services

Real Estate Solutions Group (RESG) offers a full range of real estate consultancy services to clients both public and private.

Market Analysis
Market studies are used to assist clients in understanding the drivers of supply and demand for proposed projects. The results of our market analyses allow both public and private clients to plan project phasing of single- and mixed-use developments and estimate financial feasibility, and can be useful to the public sector in the developer selection process. Our experience extends from the typical office, residential, retail, industrial, and hotel uses to the more special-use facilities including large-scale, mixed-use complexes, sport facilities, convention/conference facilities, recreational, museum, public markets, and other non-traditional projects.

Financial Analysis
Financial models are created with the flexibility to respond to a variety of assumptions and conditions in order to evaluate changes in development plans, market, and financial conditions. Financial analysis, and the creation of proformas, provide clients with a useful analytical tool for evaluating the potential for project success and returns on investment, negotiating agreements, and analyzing proposals presented by developers.

Developer Selection Process
The RESG team works closely with public sector clients to prepare market and financial analyses and issue Requests for Proposals to solicit interest from qualified developers. We provide objective assistance in the attraction, evaluation, and selection of the most capable developer(s) while optimizing the return to our clients. Proposals are evaluated according to the client’s selection criteria and are formally analyzed for economic strength, as well as financial and economic return to the client and the surrounding community. Proposals are objectively ranked to weigh advantages, disadvantages, and associated risks. Finally, we are available to assist our clients throughout the negotiation process with the selected developer. [top]

Public/Private Financing and Strategies
Real Estate Solutions Group assists public clients and developers in structuring the financing for projects that require public/private participation. We examine the financial strength of the project, as well as the sources and uses, and identify the “gap”. Taking into account local financing incentives, tax incentives and other methods, we assist our clients in structuring financing for projects that may not otherwise succeed. In addition, we can identify sources of funding and assist in the negotiation process. [top]

These may include portfolio and management strategies, asset disposition strategies, and strategic redevelopment planning and implementation. [top]
