RDG's DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Successful real property development requires five basic services:
• Project coordination
• Financial analysis and feasibility
• Site
planning and approvals
• Design and construction
• Property
management
Project Coordination
As coordinator of the entire project, RDG establishes realistic goals and
expectations at the outset of the development process. Project guidelines are
determined by careful evaluation of the type and amount of current and future
space needs, an analysis of available sites, and an understanding of local
regulations. As the project evolves, RDG is responsible for coordinating every
aspect of its implementation, including design, scheduling, costing, team
meetings, governmental approvals, and construction.
Financial Analysis and Feasibility
When space requirements have been determined and a site has been selected,
RDG develops a capital budget which includes the cost of land acquisition, site
development, and construction, as well as indirect costs such as architectural,
financial, closing, development, and marketing. RDG will also prepare an
operating budget and review the debt and equity needs of the project.
At this time the development team considers various options regarding
ownership and financing. Options may include a joint venture, a build/lease,
lease with an option to purchase, or development for a fee.
Site Planning and Approvals
This phase requires an in-depth site analysis based on the client's specific
requirements. It may entail a Phase I Environmental Study, a permit analysis, a
review of the subdivision process, an examination of the available utilities,
and a study of local building codes. In certain circumstances, RDG may have
suitable existing space or a building designed and approved for immediate
construction.
Design and Construction
Regularly scheduled project meetings, during design and construction which
involve the future tenant, are held to establish the team relationship that is
critical to achieving previously agreed-upon goals and objectives.
Property Management
Property management specialists become involved from the outset of the
development program providing up-to-date operating costs and recommendations for
the efficient operation of the building. An early dialogue with the client to
determine long-term operating goals is encouraged.
RDG's DEVELOPMENT STYLE
RDG's development stlyle is characterized by commitments to:
Flexibility...RDG is prepared to function as owner, partner, or
consultant in property development. This flexibility provides for an atmosphere
of innovation in each of the firm's endeavors.
Reliability...From the earliest cost estimates and schedules to
financial packaging, RDG works hard to ensure that accurate and complete
information is available to the development team at each step in the
process.
Responsiveness...Whether it is in structuring a specialized
transaction or in giving timely answers to a client's questions, RDG believes
responsiveness is one of the keys to sound management decisions.
Long-Term Relationships... RDG forms team relationships involving
owners, tenants, financial institutions, and investors to generate sustained
growth over the long term while simultaneously building value and contributing
to the community.
