Three development paths for a contaminated waterfront assemblage

A multi-acre waterfront site carried a Superfund cleanup obligation and an aging entitlement that capped its upside. We delivered a feasibility study with three development paths, including a mixed-use repositioning sequenced realistically against cleanup and entitlement amendment requirements. The study now governs the family's sequencing of cleanup, entitlement amendment, and development decisions.

Build or sell? Testing a constrained urban infill parcel

An owner needed to know whether vertical development beat an outright land sale. We built a use-mix feasibility model against cap-rate hurdles and helped the owner avoid a negative-spread development. The owner kept the land and the capital - development at current costs would have destroyed value the market later confirmed.

Monetizing a campus parcel for a nonprofit institution

A nonprofit cultural institution needed to monetize a corner parcel without disrupting operations. Acting as designated broker, we ran a disciplined sale process to a buyer group with deep regional ties. The transaction closed, funding the institution's mission while keeping the remainder of the campus intact.

Turning build-out budget into deal-closing leverage

Two Eastside office vacancies sat empty while the prior strategy pushed speculative refresh capital. We redirected those dollars into tenant-improvement allowance and free rent as flexible deal fuel. Both spaces have since leased on economics the speculative-refresh path could not have reached.

Unlocking residential density through a multi-year rezone

An Eastside site had been treated as commercial for years, capping residential potential. We secured planning-staff concurrence and charted a comprehensive-plan-amendment path to higher-density residential zoning. The amendment is advancing through the city's docket.

Building the builder-buyer market for a master-planned town center

An 80-acre master-planned town center had an active townhome land-sale pipeline but no organized buyer strategy. We built a ranked universe of national and regional homebuilders and set the first-touch outreach order. Multiple parcel sales to national and regional builders have closed from that outreach order.
