Our expertise includes analysis of economic conditions, government frameworks, demographic trends, and both regional and site analysis.
Our goal is to support property developers, investors, and other stakeholders by providing insightful analysis of economic market trends influencing property development projects and conducting assessments on the feasibility and potential returns of property development projects. Our public sector services is focussed on the optimal use of government-owned land, finding the most suitable locations for proposed developments, and supporting the compilation of local economic development frameworks.
Through detailed research, we examine the interactions between physical land characteristics, land-use rights, and economic factors such as supply and demand, market forces, and government policies. Our aim is to help our clients make more informed land-use planning and policy decisions.
