Site Selection

Site selection is one of the defining features of an optimal real estate solution, which often evolves beyond initial assumptions. Given the short and long-term business goals, the brand and the culture, what features are non-negotiable and what characteristics have yet to be considered? What sites are likely to become available, and in what time frame? Are there sites on the market that meet the objectives or should we take a non-traditional approach to creating an opportunity?

The Kinzer team works with each client to create the right site selection strategy that sets a course toward the one-of-a-kind solution that best serves the unique needs of that client. Kinzer then identifies options, analyzes qualitative and quantitative factors, offers strategic guidance on multiple acquisitions, and facilitates communication and win-win agreement between diverse stakeholder groups. Kinzer is also highly experienced in the identification and negotiation of government incentives.

For examples Kinzer’s site selection expertise, please see the Seattle Children’s Research Institute or Benaroya Hall case stories.
