Site Selection
Site selection is one of the first yet most crucial factors in the success of any real estate development. Evaluating a potential site includes consideration for not only land requirements but also accessibility, target demographics, legal considerations, incentives, construction cost, and more. Jim Wilson & Associates, has developed a detailed site selection process that includes community evaluation and site due diligence to create and refine a list of locations that best fit our clients requirements.

Master planning is essential for a long-term, fully functional commercial property.
