Economic & Fiscal Impact Studies
We specialize in analyzing the economic and fiscal effects of many types of activities and development projects. Our economic impact analysis illustrates how projects affect local economies, including economic output, wages, and job creation. Our fiscal impact analysis calculates how these projects influence public revenues for state, county, and local governments, including local school districts.
Market Studies
Our market studies evaluate general market conditions of supply, demand, timing, pricing, and demographics to determine the suitability of specific uses for a site. Feasibility studies can also be commissioned, which we perform to test various investment scenarios and evaluate their outcomes financially. We have conducted studies for all segments of the real estate market including retail, office, industrial, hotel, rental housing, and for sale housing sectors.
Economic Research and Forecasting
Our firm offers economic analyses of all aspects of the economy at both the national and local levels. We can provide demographic, economic, and real estate forecasting for variables including gross domestic product (GDP), consumer spending, inflation, population, personal income, employment, retail sales, residential permits, and commercial construction, among others.
Economic Development Strategies
Our land economics studies involve finding the right mix of land uses to optimize tax revenue and meet a community's future needs for retail, services, and jobs. This includes projections of land demand for residential, commercial, and industrial uses based on population and employment trends.
Housing Studies
We conduct market studies for Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects, Tax Exempt Bond projects, and HUD applications, adhering to housing authority approved methodology guidelines for applicant submissions. These studies illustrate demand for new developments and ensure they won't negatively impact similar properties.
