Resort Development Advisor

---

Our resort development advisory addresses creative, market based development strategies and structures in a manner that consistently increases real property values 8 to 10 times over purchase price.  All valuations are independently validated through our third party relationships with HVS, Cushman & Wakefield, PKF, and Sage Group.

Our investment ready structures comprehensively address all development and operating considerations. This includes project programming and design, market positioning, approvals & entitlements, sales pricing and absorption, development yield, and construction costs, while optimizing valuations and addressing risk through our proprietary Underwriting process.

Changing market conditions, liquidity considerations, ownership changes, and more, create opportunities for re-structuring, M&A and divestment. Our ability to creatively assess a development, utilizing a variety of financial and legal structures, allows us to unlock significant asset value that may otherwise be latent and constrained.
