Development Monitoring
An essential due diligence and governance discipline for clients with an interest in real estate developments they don’t control directly, like funders, investors, JV partners, land owners or occupiers.
Development due diligence and monitoring provides scrutiny and risk management for clients exposed to third party development risk. It’s an essential due diligence and governance discipline for anyone with an interest in a real estate development project they don’t control directly. Our clients are typically project funders, investors, JV partners, superior land owners or occupiers for whom real estate is being developed.
We fully understand the development process and the large array of subject areas that interact with one another to make up the development life cycle.
Our services start with a detailed review of the scheme’s technical and commercial proposals, coupled with an analysis of our client’s interest, objectives and risk profile so we can represent them most effectively. Our development ‘know how’, project experience and the skills of our teams ensures risks are identified early and managed appropriately. We monitor developments at every stage through to project completion.
Overseeing more than £4 billion of development, we handle projects of any scale from all major asset classes. We also have access to market and subject matter experts in every discipline involved in real estate development. That means you get the benefit of a deeper understanding and more valuable insights from us.
