Real Estate Redevelopment Support
“Vacancies Are Holding Us Back.”
Empty buildings dominate the conversation. They shape how people see your downtown and they quietly signal that something is not working.
Everyone has ideas. Most of them feel expensive, risky, or unrealistic. As a result, nothing moves.
We help communities move from frustration to realism by identifying what is possible now and what should wait.
What This Solves
Real Estate Redevelopment Support is designed for communities where vacant or underused buildings are holding progress back.
This work directly addresses:
A lack of clear information about downtown buildings
Mismatch between building conditions and market demand
Pressure to “fill vacancies” without realistic pathways
Redevelopment conversations that stall due to uncertainty
The goal is not to promise quick fixes - it’s to create a clear, workable path forward.
What We Do
We focus on achievable reuse rather than wish lists. Through a structured, on-the-ground assessment, we document your downtown building inventory, evaluate how buildings align with your business mix, and assess readiness for redevelopment.
This work provides a grounded understanding of:
What buildings are viable now
What buildings need longer-term conditions to change
Where limited resources should be focused first
How the Work Typically Unfolds
Step 1: Downtown Building Inventory
We create a usable inventory of downtown buildings, capturing size, condition, use, ownership patterns, and key constraints.
Step 2: Business Mix and Market Fit Review
We assess how existing buildings align with realistic business types and market demand, identifying mismatches that limit reuse.
Step 3: Redevelopment Readiness Analysis
We evaluate barriers such as financing gaps, code issues, or infrastructure limitations and identify incentive tools that could help close those gaps.
Step 4: Priority Opportunity Identification
We narrow the focus to a short list of buildings and opportunities where effort is most likely to lead to results.
What You Get
By the end of the engagement, you will have:
A clear, usable inventory of downtown buildings
A short list of priority redevelopment opportunities
Guidance on which buildings are ready now and which should wait
Practical next steps tied to current market conditions
This replaces speculation with information and direction.
How pricing works
Pricing for Real Estate Redevelopment Support is based on the size of your downtown building inventory.
Smaller inventories require less assessment time, while larger inventories require a deeper review to ensure findings are accurate and usable.
Typical investment ranges:
Small downtown inventories (up to ~40 parcels): $5,000 – $6,000
Midsize downtown inventories (approximately 41–80 parcels): $6,500 – $7,500
Larger downtown inventories (81+ parcels): Custom scope or phased approach
Final pricing is confirmed after a short introductory conversation.
This is a fixed-fee engagement with clear scope and no hourly billing.
Typical Outcomes
Communities often leave this work with:
More productive conversations about redevelopment
Clear expectations around timing and feasibility
Better alignment between buildings, incentives, and market demand
Increased confidence when talking with property owners and partners
Progress starts when the conversation becomes grounded.
