illuminas Consulting focuses on providing innovative and market-driven real estate development strategies for clients including landowners, architects and planners, developers and public development and asset management groups. We often work alongside designers as part of a master planning team to provide economic context to the design process. We also work closely with public agencies to craft workable public-private ventures that match private investment with government policies. Our partners have completed over 500 assignments and worked with a wide variety of clients to provide critical input into the design and planning process for real estate development from individual projects to large-scale master plans and new town developments. We provide robust economic, market and financial information to the real estate development process as well as grounded, rational and defensible strategies for designing, testing and implementing public policy objectives related to the built environment. The firm’s expertise includes market demand and financial feasibility analysis, fiscal and economic impact assessments, public-private development strategies, asset planning and management, ground lease transaction and negotiation support, and the development of customized economic models for clients. The firm has a background in serving both the public and private real estate sectors and can navigate the complexities of both worlds. We help our clients align and design policy and real property assets to achieve optimal investment and public policy objectives. We do this by focusing our efforts in two primary areas: (1) Complex economic modeling - optimization of performance objectives, demonstration of project feasibility, projections of trends and targets. (2) Development strategy. – Public-private deal structuring, improving conditions for investment attractiveness, development process including developer selection and performance, project financing options and implementation. In addition to working with clients in the design, development, and asset management industries, we often work directly with other consulting firms providing them with specialized expertise.
