Advantages

Grant Thrall offers advantages over traditional providers of real estate development, investment and analysis services.

· Synthesis of Decades of Development, Investment and Analysis Experience – we have advised senior officers in firms such as the St. Joe Company in real estate development and investments and we have offered real estate strategy, analysis and systems services in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers.

· Broad Real Estate Development Experience – we have first-hand experience managing a wide-range of development and investment projects including master planned communities, luxury high-rises, mixed-use developments, affordable housing, senior housing, in-fill projects and destination resorts involving a myriad of issues ranging from environmental remediation, inclusionary housing requirements, off-site impacts and mitigation and major transportation improvements.

· Unsurpassed Credentials In The Field – we literally wrote the preeminent book on the field of business geography (Business Geography and the New Real Estate Market Analysis, Oxford University Press, 2002). The field of business geography is dedicated to applying advances in the field of geography to maximum practical effect for the real estate industry.

· Cutting Edge, Yet Intuitive Analytics – we use the very latest technologies, tools and techniques, yet our approach yields results that are more intuitive than traditional approaches. Accordingly, you can more readily communicate our findings to your investors and appropriate authorities, if necessary.

· GIS Data Capabilities – in association with the Journal of Real Estate Literature and GeoSpatial Solutions, we continually review and monitor every GIS data source relevant to the real estate industry. We have extensive software capabilities to manipulate and aggregate these databases.

We speak the language of senior executives and we have a successful track record of sorting through massive data and analytical results to deliver insightful and actionable results of high relevance and value to decision makers.
