“If You Build It, Will They Come?”

Development is by far the riskiest area in commercial real estate. When planning a new development, floor plans and parking lots are not the beginning; unless you are developing a preleased building, confirming that the project addresses a need in the market and there is demand that can support the proposed project comes first. RWPS will undertake market studies to determine what adjustments, if any, are needed to maximize the chances for success.

Once underway, we integrate with your development team, or help you build one with the best people to get the job done:

• Design
• Engineering
• Entitlement
• Construction
• Finance
• Leasing & Legal
• Management

By engaging with your team from the outset, we ensure that planning and design are not just creative and appealing, but that they are “Investment Forward”, meaning that “form follows function” holds true only when “form follows finance” as well.

Be it new construction or transforming an existing asset, RWPS is at your side to guide you from Concept through CO, and beyond!

Investment Advisory

Success is achieved by creating value, and as importantly, by avoiding loss.

RWPS consulting services are here for you as a resource to assess a potential new investment or existing asset or portfolio. Because the right property for one investor may be the wrong property for another, we apply what we call a FLUID Review™ of the asset. The investment you are considering is evaluated in the context of you as the investor.

Our FLUID Review™ is straightforward:

• Familiarize ourselves with your circumstances and objectives
• Learn about the proposed investment
• Utilize our financial modeling to project cashflows
• Identify the asset’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats (SWOT Analysis)
• Develop an investment strategy or reassess your position

We have developed proprietary financial algorithms to model multiple investment scenarios, which are taken together with practical insights and asset-specific observations, presented to you clearly and concisely. This enables you to make an informed decision about the investment and create an actionable plan based on the results.

While the strategy may seem simple, executing it requires vision, data, and years of experience. As your consultant, RWPS helps you gain confidence in knowing that you are choosing the direction that is best for you.
