To assist in the evaluation of your site, Yates & Company will prepare a Comprehensive Due Diligence Analysis summarizing the property’s characteristics, entitlements, permits, infrastructure and financial needs. With the expert knowledge of local planning and zoning procedures, we can identify the steps necessary to achieve the best use for the property.  We understand the development process and will coordinate the project consultants through the land approval and permitting process to achieve the client’s goals in a cost effective and time efficient manner and ensure that projects are delivered on-time.
