Urban real estate strategy and planning

With a deep understanding of design, financing, and the regulatory process Gerson Consulting can assist you to envision and implement your projects. Whether they are large master plan communities, a parcel of land, or an existing building, we can provide a roadmap to successfully develop your assets.

We have facilitated the visioning of the design of the 421 acres at the SF Shipyard, assessed the buildout and phasing of a residential portfolio that included 20,000 homes, and successfully managed the entire development process of projects large and small.

Using our expertise, we will advise you to identify your goals and objectives and offer solutions that will obtain the highest and best use for your assets.

Development project management

Gerson Consulting can assist with every phase of a project including land acquisition and due diligence, programming, entitlement strategy, budgeting, financial proformas, design development management and construction oversight.

Community acceptance

We will focus on both public and private stakeholders as we develop strategies that will engage the community to get your project approved.

Organizational and strategic planning
