Comprehensive Development Strategies

For clients who wish to own their building but lack the experience or time to develop the facility themselves, CDS can provide the technical resources, experience, and financial structure to make the project a reality. We can wrap all of our services into one package to provide a client with a complete real estate project from concept to completion.

Location, location, location. It is not just a cliche, it is the basis of a solid real estate deal. Where you locate your business can have a major impact on your success. Our experience and objective evaluation of the merits of each site provide an appraisal that balances the cost of the land and cost to improve the land so that each parcel is presented based upon the impact on the Financial Model.

Financial modeling of a project assists a client with defining the basic parameters and performance standards of a project and translating that information into land, building, parking and expansion requirements. CDS will define estimated costs for land development, building shell and core construction and build-out cost including all finishes, fixtures, systems and equipment. The result is a baseline financial model to assist with corporate approvals, economic incentive negotiations, financing and land acquisition.

The success of any construction project is contingent upon the timely and coordinated performance of the owner, design team, builder, and construction manager. As Construction Manager, CDS’s role is to act as a temporary extension of the owner’s internal staff, working to coordinate and execute every phase of the project in accordance with the Owner’s decisions.

A new office move can be exciting but can also be very time consuming. Our experts can guide you through equipment and space planning, AV/ security/IT systems design, interior finish selections, furniture procurement, and delivery, tenant- improvement contracting, utility connections, packing, storage, move-in, and cleanup.

If you are not ready to jump into a full-blown construction project, CDS can provide discrete expert advice to assist you in your decision-making process. We can also be brought in to review a project that is underway but perhaps is in trouble. CDS consulting services provide our clients with this flexibility including access to our strategic consulting relati
