With any development project, there are many issues to consider at the outset in order to avoid potentially expensive pitfalls or wasted capital.  Site assembly, masterplan development, commercial activation of the site, sector mix, phasing, funding models, legal structuring of the entire development project, development execution, sales and marketing can present a bewildering array of inputs and required decisions. 

Some questions to be analysed carefully are:

• With any site earmarked for a mixed-use, multi-phased development project, what are the first steps required in order to unlock initial value whilst at the same time, protecting future value?
• What should be considered in assessing the mix of uses for a development site?
• What actions can be undertaken quickly and cost effectively at the outset to activate a site and build public and market interest?
• What are the key drivers to be considered when undertaking such a development?
• How does one start to transform a vision into a successful commercial reality?
• How can the external and public spaces between revenue-producing buildings be made to contribute to the overall value prospect?
• When is the appropriate time to appoint professional consultant to the design and project team and in what order?

To answer these and other questions successfully at the start is crucial to the success of any undertaking.  But there is a lot to consider and potentially a lot at stake in terms of investment and future value.  Root has extensive experience in such projects and can provide clear guidance and answers to these questions to assist the stakeholders from the very early stages of a development project.
