Know what
shapes the project.

Site capacity. Development economics. Building code. Accessible design.
Understand the variables—and how they change one another.

Feasibility is
a connected study.

A bigger envelope does not automatically mean a better project. Follow the decisions from the land to the economics.

  1. Establish the siteProperty, access, infrastructure, approvals
  2. Test the capacitySetbacks, envelope, height, floor area
  3. Build the programUnit mix, efficiency, parking, circulation
  4. Evaluate the economicsCost, income, capital, timing, sensitivity

Procedural brief

Inputs, steps, output, limits

Work through the whole study.

Connected subjects, from the first parcel question to the report and investment gate behind a development decision.

Floor area ratio

Understand floor area ratio, lot coverage, and the difference between a zoning area allowance and a buildable site concept.

Feasibility report anatomy

Organize a feasibility report around the site basis, development controls, scenario geometry, program, economics, open questions, and next decision.

Developer feasibility workflow

Structure site screening, control verification, scenario comparison, due diligence, and modeled economics around explicit investment gates.

Setbacks & buildable envelope

Work through setbacks, height, lot coverage, easements, and the difference between a zoning envelope and a usable building concept.

Development pro forma

Connect development costs, income, operating expenses, financing, timing, valuation, and sensitivity analysis in a preliminary real-estate pro forma.

Parking, access & circulation

Connect parking requirements with stalls, aisles, access, accessible routes, loading, and the space a workable site layout actually needs.

Density, unit mix & yield

Distinguish zoning density from a residential test fit, and connect unit mix, efficiency, common space, parking, and project economics.

Site due diligence & entitlements

Organize property, environmental, infrastructure, entitlement, and schedule questions alongside a preliminary development concept.

Start with your
next question.

A source-linked reference is useful when it helps you make the next investigation more precise.

Evaluating a site?

Separate the zoning area budget from the footprint, height, and access conditions that shape a concept.
