Development Advisory

Project Development Consultant

Strategic, numbers-driven advisory linking design excellence with municipal zoning laws and investment feasibility audits.

Strategy & Governance

De-risking real estate assets

A beautiful design is only successful if it can legally be built and financially return capital. Our project development consulting service bridges the critical divide between architects, city planning departments, and institutional equity partners.

We specialize in site evaluations, zoning capacity audits, pre-construction feasibility underwriting, and representing owners throughout municipal variance appeals and community board hearings.

By managing regulatory risks and auditing construction budgets early, we help our clients maximize floor area ratio (FAR) entitlements and eliminate costly delays before construction begins.

FAQ

Development Consulting FAQ

What does a comprehensive development feasibility study cover?

+

Our studies include zoning entitlement analysis, maximum buildable area calculations (FAR), soil/environmental constraints audits, pre-construction cost estimates, and financial cash-flow underwriting (pro formas) showing projected IRR and ROI.

Can you represent us in filing a municipal zoning variance request?

+

Yes. We organize and compile variance documentation, coordinate with design architects to address city concerns, and lead presentations during community board meetings and municipal planning hearings.

Does Zenith Global act as the general builder or general contractor?

+

No. We operate purely as owner representatives and strategic consultants. This ensures we remain independent, focused solely on auditing contractor bids, verifying schedule milestones, and representing your financial interests.

At what phase of the project should we engage your consultants?

+

Ideally during pre-acquisition or early design phases. Performing a zoning audit or feasibility study before buying land prevents developers from acquiring restricted sites or design constraints.

How long does a standard property zoning capacity audit take?

+

For standard sites, capacity audits are completed within 2 to 3 weeks. Complex parcels, or sites with historical landmark protection overlays, take between 4 to 6 weeks.
