Site Discovery and Selection

Some developers or owners wait until they’ve already selected a site before engaging with a renovations partner, which can lead to costly inefficiencies and missed opportunities. The Metropolitan Build team adds value to the earliest stages of your project, including site discovery, site selection, and feasibility studies, to ensure your construction or renovation project is positioned for success.

Site Discovery

If you’re embarking on a new construction project, we can help identify site candidates and evaluate them to determine best fit. We use data-driven insights to develop robust feasibility studies that take all site-specific factors into account, including whether necessary infrastructure is in place, the degree of renovation required, the capacity for expansion, and other considerations stemming from the project program. We translate those insights into informed decisions about how to proceed with your project and what level of investment is required. We also assist with project financing sources and strategies.

First Steps in a Successful Property Acquisition

The first steps in choosing the right property for your project include:

Working with the right professionals, who understand your project and your vision
Finding viable properties through site analysis and due diligence on the building’s condition
Calculating the long-term cost of the property, not just the cost of acquisition

Site Analysis

Once a site is selected, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the site situation, including its unique advantages and limitations that will need to be overcome before it can achieve its desired converted use. We consult with owners and developers to ensure they procure the best site and building available within their stated goals and project parameters.

How To Pick a Winner: Evaluating Property Beyond Purchase Price

The first factors to consider when choosing a property are location and price, but the most important factor to consider is the long-term cost and value of the property. By understanding how well the property will suit your needs over time, you can accurately determine if the property is the right choice for your project.
