Development
It’s a brand new ballgame. Real estate projects that made perfect sense six or seven years ago, have to be reconsidered. While lenders and investors are cautiously starting to loosen monies for investment in real estate, they are very, very picky, cautious and tough. Even if approved, the terms for investment funding can derail a proposed development. Lenders need concrete assurance that a development meets the demands of the new marketplace. Submitting a proposal written before the bubble burst isn’t going to cut it.
Today’s owner/developers need to look at new options and realistically reevaluate the relevance of their previous concepts. Tenants are looking for smaller more flexible space with green technology. This is where Clifford & Company shines. C&C will not only evaluate the parcels of land, they will develop a number of realistic options that are in keeping with the developer’s vision, but grounded in today’s reality. C&C will deal with Municipal issues like zoning and variances. They can help to create a proposal that minimizes red flags and that hits all of the right buttons investors and banks are looking for.

Third Pair of Eyes
When plans are approved and funding secured, who will build your project? Many of the experienced contractors are out of business. There are still experienced builders out there. Some are evolving with the times, others are still stuck in the Stone Age . There are newer companies who have embraced new technologies, materials and practices, but there are pitfalls that only experience can help avoid.
