Planning & Feasibility

Know what's buildable before you close.

Zoning analysis, site feasibility, due diligence, and entitlement strategy for developers, property owners, and municipalities across Ohio.

Planning grounded in what's on the ground.

A great planning concept that ignores grading, wetlands, utilities, or zoning isn't a concept — it's a delay. Our planners work alongside our surveyors and civil engineers from day one, so feasibility answers are based on what we can actually measure, not what we hope is true.

We've helped clients walk away from bad deals and helped them structure good ones. Either way, you walk away knowing.

Recent planning engagements:

  • Mixed-use redevelopment, Cleveland Flats — 18-acre feasibility and entitlement strategy resulting in 4 successful rezoning approvals.
  • Industrial park, Medina County — 220-acre master plan balancing wetlands, floodplain, and access constraints.
  • Senior housing, Geauga County — Site selection, zoning variance, and water main extension coordination.
