Feasibility Consulting

We provide a variety of services from market analyses and economic studies to detailed financial analyses of complex projects. Our feasibility studies have a common thread of thorough research, sophisticated analysis, an understanding of real estate trends, an objective evaluation of future conditions, and pragmatic real estate judgment. Our objective is to identify the likely market niche, strategy, and conditions necessary to maximize the clients’ objectives while minimizing the attendant risks. Our diverse background includes assignments involving office, retail, hotel, multi-family residential, mixed-use, and industrial projects as well as ski and golf resorts, interval ownership housing, parking facilities, race tracks and training facilities, marinas, art museums, and other specialized properties.

Market-Rate and Luxury Housing Studies

We provide developers, investors, and other clients with an array of market, financial feasibility and other studies, as well as appraisals and the negotiation of ground lease and joint venture agreements for landowners and developers. Our work encompasses a variety of market-rate and luxury residential housing ranging from suburban apartments and luxury downtown waterfront condominium developments to age-restricted retirement housing and golf/ski resort second homes. We have recently completed feasibility studies for numerous downtown high-rise apartment and condominium developments, a 350-unit luxury waterfront age-restricted condominium development, and a 500-unit rental and condominium primary housing development, as well as structuring ground lease and venture agreements for luxury high-rise apartment developments, townhouse developments, and garden apartment developments.

Mixed-Income and Assisted Housing Studies

The firm has undertaken numerous financial and market studies, as well as appraisals, for low, moderate, and mixed-income housing developments financed with federal and state housing assistance programs. These studies include market studies for both mixed-income rental and condominium housing, low income housing tax credits, SRO housing, HUD mandated rental comparable studies, valuations for tax abatement, market studies and appraisals for LIHTC financing, analyses for federal bankruptcy court, studies for CRA financing, and appraisals pursuant to the HUD's Mark Up-to-Market Program and other federal and state programs.
