Before a site is ever presented, it runs the same gauntlet. We surface the risks early and price accordingly — so nothing meaningful shows up after a deal is underway.
Flood exposureChecked
FEMA flood zone, floodway, and drainage review on every parcel.
Utilities & serviceChecked
Water, sewer, power, and gas availability, capacity, and distance to connect.
Zoning & land useChecked
Current zoning, allowed uses, multifamily density, mixed-use potential, and the path to any needed change.
Waterway / ACOE risk¼-mile radius
Streams, wetlands, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction within a quarter mile.
Freight & heavy rail50-yard rule
Active freight or heavy rail within 50 yards is flagged as a hard constraint.
Light rail / TODException
Light rail and transit-oriented development corridors are treated as an upside exception, not a constraint.
Entitlement riskScored
Approval complexity, timeline, political climate, and conditions of approval.
Value vs. target LOIModeled
Current market value benchmarked against disciplined target LOI pricing.
Access & topographyChecked
Legal access, frontage, slope, and gradeability that drive real build cost.
Our disciplineCurrent value vs. target LOI
We don't chase deals. Every offer is anchored to a defensible read of current value against a target acquisition price that leaves room for a buildable, profitable outcome.
What it means for youNo surprises, by design
Risk is surfaced and priced up front. Landowners get an honest number; development buyers get a site that holds up under their own diligence.
