Site selection studies help clients with relocation and/or siting of new installations, involving real estate analysis, amenities, access to public transportation, ease of access to customer base and ancillary agencies. These studies inform budget development and forecasts of expenses over the life of a project. These projects often involve life cycle cost, net present value, and return on investment analyses.

Organizations are often faced with decision challenges regarding site selections and building renovations, additions, and new constructions to accommodate evolving and emerging needs. These decisions are impacted by myriad factors including but not limited to space needs, adjacency requirements, enabling projects, infrastructure enhancements, phasing, funding, continuity of operations, and decommissioning. Other considerations include life cycle cost analysis and return on investments.

MAP has assisted clients with a range of strategic real estate decisions. It has developed highest and best use analyses of their real assets leveraging contextual factors and determining timing of actions. It has helped clients opt between pursuing renovations, additions, or new constructions. In some cases, agencies were advised regarding the pros and cons of building or expanding to accommodate their space needs versus procuring leased space. The key to these analyses is the ability to anticipate all contributing factors and evaluate their impacts over time. MAP’s analyses are data driven, multi-disciplinary, and customized based on its clients’ missions, priorities, and preferences.
