Economic and demographic forecasts are used to develop segmented models of demand for real estate projects. We routinely deal with virtually all land uses including office, retail, industrial, residential, elderly/retirement housing, marina, and mixed-use facilities. Competitive position, locational advantages, and the physical needs of current development concepts are analyzed to determine market feasibility.

Our experience with real estate financial analysis provides greater insight on economic feasibility issues for both the private and public sectors. Detailed and complete analysis of development costs, cash flow, and investment returns help make market judgments more realistic and provide a basis for investment and financing decisions by both private and governmental funding sources.

Assignments have included apartment complexes, elderly housing, low-income housing, subdivisions, hotels, arenas, office, industrial, research park, and multi-use development projects; work-out/financial restructuring analysis; mix, absorption and sell-out projections; estimates of development costs; lease analysis; and financing terms and structures. We have prepared financial analyses and reviewed development packages for a wide variety of development projects including hotels, arenas, and other specialized facilities.

We have worked extensively as a part of a multi-disciplinary planning team, a key ingredient of our community and economic development services is our dedication to working closely with clients, other advisors, builders and community groups to establish consensus. The firm has extensive experience in assisting local civic and government groups in identifying strategies to create economically and socially vibrant environments that contribute positively to the fiscal balance, quality of life, and civic pride of the community.  Using the T OE & I factor® as the preferred methodology we have established significant movement towards censuses and quickly achieved results.

Fiscal, Economic and Tax Studies

ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS performs studies of fiscal, economic and tax impacts using the T I & OE factor® related to rezoning, annexation, and evaluating and challenging real estate policy.

·         Fiscal Impact or Cost/Revenue Studies

·         Economic Benefit Studies

·         Impact Fee Analysis

·         Economic Impact Studies

·         Property and Sales Tax Impact Studies

These analyses draw on our knowledge of costs and revenues resulting from development. Revenue estimates take into account actual tax assessment practice, aid formulas, multiple revenue sources, and market conditions influencing sales and other tax generation. Public cost studies reflect budget factors, departmental capacity, and economies of scale.

Through these types of studies we can help our clients achieve public approval of controversial development proposals and help cities to establish fiscally responsible development plans. Our studies have helped both the public and private sectors to understand the costs and benefits of development decisions and arrive at mutually beneficial zoning, tax abatement, and policy decisions.

We also conduct economic impact studies that estimate the broader economic benefits and impacts, which also may result from projects. These include employment, multiplier effects, and more qualitative impacts on the overall development climate of an area.
