RES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

RES Development Services is a leading provider of commercial real estate services focused on advising owners seeking solutions to their problem properties whether it’s your business or your home.

​

We set up your real estate project so you have the knowledge to make well-informed decisions and to alleviate potential problems before they arise.  We can help ensure the project’s feasibility so that financial considerations, long-term flexibility, and various stakeholder needs have been identified and addressed.  We offer concept to construction support getting you to enjoy your property sooner.

​

Sometimes your real estate is your real problem.  We can help with that, too, even when no solution is obvious.  People frustrated by their real estate are typically so vexed by what they’re dealing with, they often cannot verbalize what they need.  When you’re overwhelmed and confused by what’s in front of you, bring in someone who speaks the language and can navigate a path to calm.

​

After years of working in this field, we know you don’t have to spend or organize the most expensive or elaborate solutions, just the appropriate ones that do not deteriorate quickly.  Trust us, we can help.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES

These are typically troubled property turnarounds where feasibility analysis, entitlement, and preconstruction planning are critical.  RES Development Services deliver a unique blend of strategic planning, unbiased analysis, market expertise, and creative solutions for your commercial real estate project.

​

We have the construction and development based experience to help identify potential time and cost savings as you prepare to reposition your property.  Repositioning is the strategic use of renovations and improvements on a property in order to change its place in the real estate market and is often used after a major altering event such as a fire or when a property's current use does not reach its full economic potential.  It can range from upgrades to a building, demo and rebuild, a new ownership structure, or conversion to a new use all together.

​

RES Development Services works to ensure that the real estate solution you choose is the most effective decision to meet your needs now and in the future.

PRIVATE LAND OWNERS

Often someone has just inherited some real estate or realizes they need to preserve their family land or vacation home for the next generation and just doesn’t know how to proceed. 

​

Developing, redeveloping, or restructuring the ownership of land or built properties can bring life changing opportunities if done correctly.  RES Development Services takes a wholistic view of the project to provide solutions that provide the most value for our clients with the least time, cost or frustration.  We’ve learned that a little bit of innovation, some local cooperation with the oversight boards, and a lot of perseverance go a long way.

​

Whether you are formalizing an estate plan for future generations, or just want to better use your lake front property today, RES Development Services can cut through the red tape to allow you and your family to enjoy the land you own.

HOW DOES RES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TRANSITION LAND INTO USEFUL SPACE?

When you own land and know what you want to do with it, but not how to get the building plans and approvals get to it done, RES Development Services can take you through the technical process.  We have both construction and development-based expertise to guide your project forward.

RES Development Services looks at existing land use, obsolete buildings or market changes to make sure any new planned project makes sense for the owner’s goals and check all the compliance boxes for land use, zoning and financial sustainability.  We also review title insurance for potential issues and coordinate the related field work necessary to confirm boundaries, easements and other hazards.  We bring in the right professional for geotechnical studies and remediation including Phase I and Phase 2 studies (if needed) to confirm site suitability.  We can also assist in those rare situations when parcels need basic infrastructure expansion that require public/private partnerships that may go as far as economic incentives from municipalities and other governmental entities.

​

Land Use rules and regulations vary across counties and even neighboring cities.  Although generally governed by a common body of law, policies and procedures are seldom identical.  RES Development Services has experience dealing with a variety of jurisdictions on a wide range of issues and property types that allows us to quickly assess and document the specifics of each situation.

​

In limited situations, we can represent clients seeking to acquire or discard real estate if the existing parcel is simply unsuitable for its desired use.

HOW DOES RES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CREATE A WORKABLE SOLUTION?

You know your family or business, we know real estate.  Together we can build a customized, strategic plan to meet your goals.

RES Development Services takes a thoughtful approach to potential projects knowing there are five critical steps every project must go through if it will be successfully completed on time and within budget.  These steps define the scope of the project and determine how much each party will contribute to the solution.  As a strategic partner we invest the time and resources to develop the framework of what needs to be done up front so an individual plan can be created that is both cost effective and long lasting.  Our thorough approach to analyzing the root cause of a problem allows us to create a plan that specifically addresses the issues that caused your site to become a problem.

Some owners take a more hands on approach and only want guidance, others like full project management services.  RES Development Services can offer support at any level of involvement.  Full service support may include:

  • boundary and easement confirmation by title insurance or survey

  • detailed schedules

  • pro forma cash analysis and budget projections

  • land use approval by municipal permit or entitlements needed

We have a team of various industry experts through our professional relationships who can also assist you throughout the project as well.  Sometimes unexpected delays occur.  When this happens and projects need to be quickly brought back on track, RES Development Services will adjust and pivot plans to quickly recover as best as possible to minimize any time delay or cost increase.
