REAL ESTATE ADVISORY
Expertise across the full spectrum of planning and realization for visionary environments with a focus on People, Purpose, Planet, Profit.
With decades as investors, owner’s representatives, general partners, and managing members for billions of dollars in real estate development projects, we are endowed with a singular understanding of the challenges and advantages inherent in complex placemaking.
PLANNING/PROGRAMMING
Our approach is to process the project through feasibility, technical studies, planning, financial structuring, design, entitlements, permitting, construction, commissioning, and closeout. We will develop a collaborative planning and entitlement process within the economic requirements of a project to provide the means to successfully navigate land use.
FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND PRO FORMA
We compare the potential of the development to the land purchase and acquisition costs, permit and review costs, construction costs, insurances, closing costs, and more to determining whether the benefits of a completed development will outweigh the initial costs invested.
REAL ESTATE ADVISORY
We collaborate with leading economists, industry experts, and seasoned financial professionals to construct an accurate account of current and future market forces to inform and guide project development.
FINANCIAL STRUCTURING
Gafcon’s Advisory team defines the financial framework for the development to include financial performance, funding requirements, funding opportunities, and financial strategies to execute the vision of the project.
