Industry: Brownfield Industry Stakeholders

As population growth around urban centers continues, old former manufacturing or heavy industry sites become more valuable. This has created a surge in the evaluation, assessment, and clean-up of properties for re-use. These properties are called "brownfields" and the individual, agencies, buyers, sellers, financiers, consultants, environmental justice groups and other interested parties are called Brownfield Industry Stakeholders.

Brownfields are defined as real properties whose reuse or redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these Brownfields pressures off of undeveloped land and protects the environment. Currently many �in-fill� development opportunities in urban areas are considered Brownfield projects and require, at a minimum, environmental assessment prior to reuse.

If assessment activities identify areas of environmental concern, remediation activities, risk assessment, or in-situ management engineering may be required. Since 1989 we have been helping Brownfield stakeholders, including property owners, their advisors, attorneys, and community redevelopment agencies, bring Brownfields back to productive use.

Beginning with the Due Diligence process, our staff is expert at identifying potential environmental liabilities that impact property redevelopment. With extensive experience in the assessment and remediation of thousands of properties, we advise clients on the cost, schedule, and regulatory implications as well as potential funding sources for environmentally impaired real estate. Working hand in hand with legal counsel, as appropriate, our firm advances projects independently or in conjunction with the formal regulatory process. Our background and knowledge in the areas of development and business principles allow us to craft solutions that create �win-win� situations for buyers, sellers, financiers, and developers restore asset value.

Our staff is respected by the regulatory community and our project managers successfully work with the appropriate agencies to expedite redevelopment. These relationships are vital when assessing options for property use and for forecasting realistic development timelines.
