Economic, Feasibility and Market Research

For decades, Greenfield Advisors has been involved in residential subdivision development, institutional investment decisions, multi-use projects and urban villages, low-income-housing developments and brownfield redevelopment projects.

Feasibility includes three concepts--market feasibility, economic feasibility, and financial feasibility. The first asks the question, “If we built it, will they come?” The second, “If we build it and they come, how much will they pay us?” The third asks, “If they build it and they come and they pay us, will it be profitable?” This sort of analysis is at the core of the highest and best use study, and is one of the first steps in all complex real estate development decisions. Following are a few examples of some of our feasibility analysis projects:

Urban Villages -- Greenfield Advisors is one of the few firms in the country with the expertise and experience to appraise a complex, multi-year, multi-use urban village development.

Low Income Housing Feasibility Studies and Appraisals -- Greenfield Advisors researchers have been involved in many market, economic, and financial feasibility studies over the years. We are one of the few firms with experience valuing such projects with multiple layers of tax-free bond financing.

Brownfield Redevelopment -- Greenfield Advisors is nationally recognized as experts on the economics of brownfield investments. Our principals and analysts have spoken at the invitation of both the American Bar Association and the Environmental Protection Agency regarding the financial aspects of brownfields.

Institutional Investments – Greenfield Advisors principals have consulted on pension plan investments, large private real estate holdings and trust and endowment investments.
