Land Acquisitions & Dispositions Services

We have been in the multi-res industry for 33 years; 13 years # 1 Apartment broker in Calgary, 10 years # 1 Multi-Residential land broker in Calgary and 10 years as principal of multi-residential developments. The most over-overlooked and inefficient market is land acquisitions. Firstly, a high percentage of the brokers have limited knowledge of the process and fail to add much value. For some reason, the purchasers allocate insufficient resources to make effective and wise site acquisitions.

  1. The purchase of a site has significant ramifications on the outcome of a development
  2. Proper resources and time should be provided and a land acquisitions strategy formulated
  3. Researching for market intel should be a regular occurrence
  4. A detailed site acquisitions due diligence plan should be carefully planned
  5. Various consultants add an important role in the process
  6. Legal consultation and legal due diligence strategy
  7. The procurement schedule of a site – should be given careful consideration
