Land and Development

Land and development opportunities are an important area of our practice.

The value of development property is closely connected to what can realistically and economically be built. Depending upon the property, our analysis may consider:

• General Plan and zoning
• Permitted and conditional uses
• Allowable density
• Existing and potential entitlements
• Tentative and final maps
• Site configuration and topography
• Access and infrastructure
• Development fees and requirements
• Affordable housing requirements
• Construction economics
• Finished-product values
• Builder and developer requirements

Where appropriate, we consider alternative development scenarios before determining how a property should be positioned. Our objective is to give prospective developers and builders enough relevant information to quickly understand the opportunity and begin their own underwriting.
