Real Estate:
Commercial Development

The financing, purchase, development, use and sale of property for business and investment purposes is a costly and complex process—fraught with risk and potential liability exposure.

Commercial real estate developers acquire real property in order to increase its value by obtaining entitlements for development and making improvements that will make the property more attractive for business purposes.

Land developers acquire raw land, obtain entitlement and improve it with utility connections, roads, and other improvements. Building developers acquire improved land in order to construct building projects—like office buildings or business parks, medical facilities, retail centers, industrial/warehouse complexes, condominium/hotel developments—or some “mixed use” of the above.These buildings are then sold entirely or in part to others, or retained as assets to produce cash flow via rents and other means.
