Research
Real estate research.
Parcel-level desk reads on individual sites for the asset management line: what each is zoned for, what hazards sit on it, how it is encumbered, and what it would cost to hold, all from public records.
- Public records only
- Nobody contacted
- Nothing under contract
The work on file
Phase-zero parcel reads
Individual sites, read one at a time.
Individual sites read one at a time from public records, each left at identified or screened, none controlled, nobody contacted.
The portfolio register
One sheet for every site read.
One sheet holding every site read so far, each line copied from that site’s own file and cited to it; built, not approved, not an offer.
The content teaser framework
Where talking about the market stops.
The line between reporting on the market, stating what the firm does, and making an offer, drawn before anything is published; a draft that publishes nothing.
What a phase-zero read checks
Zoning and hazard
Base zoning, height district, overlays and the hazard layers, pulled from the city’s own map service and cross-checked against its public lookup.
Siting
The parcel polygon laid over the flood-zone boundary, to measure how much of the lot sits outside the zone and whether a building fits there.
Transit
Distance from the parcel edge, not the address point, to the nearest rail station, against the radius the incentive programs use.
Encumbrance
Recorded instruments on the title, from the recorder’s index; where a copy has not been pulled, the field stays uncertain rather than guessed.
Comps
Dated precedents for the same deal structure, from trade press and public agencies, so the plan is measured against what has actually closed.
Owner and cost
Owner of record from official sources only, third-party hard cost, and the price of hazard mitigation; where no published figure exists, the gap is stated.
