Built to de-risk a site before you commit. Site selection is a race against two things: time and unknowns. Our job is to help you close out both - fast, defensible answers on whether a parcel works before capital, leases or public announcements are on the line. Where we plug into your process: • Preliminary feasibility & due diligence reports • Zoning, entitlement and land-use risk review • ALTA/NSPS surveys & boundary verification • Utility & infrastructure assessment • Floodplain, wetland, drainage and other environment flags • GIS-based site comparison & market analysis We’re not in the business of talking you into a site. Our job is to surface what a site actually looks like - its constraints, its costs, its risks - so you can make that call with real information, not guesswork.

how we support site selection A site doesn’t become a project in one step. Every site comes with opportunities and constraints. Zoning, utilities, drainage, environmental, access and permitting requirements can all influence whether a property is viable. Our multi-disciplinary team helps clients navigate those questions early, reducing risk and creating a clearer path to development.

our core site selection services Every stage of site selection draws on a different perspective — civil engineering to evaluate feasibility, surveying to establish accurate site data, land planning to navigate entitlement and GIS to compare opportunities at scale. At Wallace, these disciplines work together from day one, providing clients with a coordinated understanding of a site’s potential, constraints and path to development.

additional site selection services Once the site is set, we carry it forward. The value of an integrated team doesn’t end when a site is selected. Whether the next step is new construction, renovation or portfolio improvements, our structural engineering, landscape architecture, roof consulting and special inspections teams help carry projects from due diligence into design and construction. The result is greater continuity, fewer handoffs and a team that understands the project from the very beginning.

what we help evaluate No two developments are alike. A distribution center and a mixed-use district may occupy similar acreage, but their infrastructure demands, access requirements, utility needs and development timelines can be vastly different. Drawing on decades of experience across a wide range of markets, Wallace helps clients evaluate sites through the lens of the project’s ultimate use - identifying opportunities, constraints and critical considerations before significant investments are made. The following markets represent a sample of the project types we support throughout the site selection and development process.
