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.
