How to Conduct a Real Estate Development Feasibility Study
Taking the time to conduct a feasibility study before jumping into a new real estate development project is always a good idea.
While you may think your idea is brilliant (and it very well might be), it’s always best to determine its feasibility beforehand.
The Benefits of Real Estate Development Feasibility Studies
Increased Chances of Success
Real estate developers do not go into new projects blind. The decision to choose a location or type of business is based on consumer interest, competitor advantage, and likelihood to generate a greater return on investment.
A feasibility study gathers this type of insight in a matter of weeks. The information uncovered can drive business, marketing, and sales strategies.
It is far superior than basing a major investment on guesses and assumptions.
Earn More Investment Dollars
Say after conducting a real estate feasibility study, your market research partner discovers 76% of respondents in your target market are likely to visit this new location.
This data point is not only exciting for your team but for potential investors.
If you can prove the success of your new business venture even before it is open to the public, investors are much more likely to get on board with the project early on.
Greater Return on Investment
In some instances, the concept or location which architectural, engineering, construction, and development companies ask Drive Research to test is not supported in the market research findings.
Instead, the market research points to other concepts that would be more of a success.
Without market research, real estate development clients could have jumped into this major investment blindly without realizing better opportunities with a larger return on investment (ROI).
