Market Assessment	What is the highest and best use for a given property in today’s market? What market dynamics may influence future land value?
Conceptualization	What development concept maximizes the financial value of the property at an acceptable level of risk for the property owner? Does the reality of the property market—and the financial market—support this conceptualization?  How can significant non-financial objectives be satisfied through the development?
Strategic Planning	What is the owner’s exit strategy? What is the right business model for the property owner—seller, JV partner, or developer—in light of their risk tolerance, skill sets, and tax strategy?
Infrastructure Strategy	Many of today’s most exciting development opportunities face enormous infrastructure obstacles (e.g., water, sewer, transportation) that can only be overcome through private-public cooperation, creative thinking, and a clear sense of the financial implications of every option.
Design Oversight	We are experts at integrating the financial with the aesthetic. We oversee and direct design professionals—planners, engineers, architects—to ensure that the physical plans support financial goals.
Entitlements	The ADS team has very deep experience with the toughest entitlements challenges—rezoning applications—as well as the routine permitting of by-right subdivisions. We understand and value public involvement and use it effectively to win approval for controversial proposals.
Implementation	ADS expertise helps to minimize client risk during construction.  We avoid unnecessary infrastructure and upfront capital outlays through efficient phasing and construction oversight of site improvements. From running an orderly bid process to coordinating independent contractors in a host of trades, we can make the project vision a reality.
Land Disposition	Selling the property is perhaps the most important activity in the life cycle of a real estate development project.  Our team has negotiated scores of land sales and joint ventures with some of the largest development companies in America.  We understand that deal structures are not formulas; each deal demands its own approach.
