Recent Success Story
Mixed-Use Development Site - Austin, TX
4.2 acres | Downtown location | $8.5M acquisition
Challenge
Pre-acquisition assessment for developer planning 12-story mixed-use building with retail and residential components.
Key Findings
- Identified underground storage tanks requiring removal and remediation - $125K
- Discovered utility capacity constraints requiring off-site improvements - $275K
- Found geotechnical issues requiring deep foundation system - added $400K
- Uncovered setback violations with existing structures requiring demolition
- Noted traffic impact study requirement and potential infrastructure fees
- Identified wetland boundary impacting buildable area by 8%
Outcome
Comprehensive site analysis enabled developer to accurately model project costs and timelines. Findings led to $350K purchase price reduction and seller agreement to handle UST removal. Developer moved forward with eyes wide open to all site challenges and associated costs. Project is now under construction.
