Services
Brookwood is a trusted advisor for strategic management consulting relating to real estate. Much of the firm’s work is performed under strict non-disclosure agreements due to the sensitivity and confidential nature of some assignments. Brookwood clients include successful organizations that may not have a regular need to maintain in-house real estate expertise. Brookwood principals work with client leadership to envision, advance, and assure business and investment objectives. Our services include:

Development Management / Owner Representation
Brookwood principals have deep experience in the comprehensive and detailed management of real estate development projects – both as principals and as owner representatives.
As a Development Manager or Owner Representative, Brookwood can collaborate (on a shoulder-to-shoulder basis) with client leadership or, alternatively, can carry out the assignment on behalf of the client, as appropriate. In the course of these assignments, Brookwood typically performs the following tasks:
Project Concept Development

Financial Modeling
Entitlements
Scheduling and Budgeting
Contract Negotiations
Project Management & Reporting
Marketing Programming & Execution
Consultant, Contractor and Supplier selection
Project Commissioning, Lease-up and Stabilization
Market Analysis & Financial Feasibility
Market Analysis and Financial Feasibility services are important components of Brookwood’s due diligence services for real estate investors, purchasers, owners and occupiers. Brookwood can function as a key member of the client team, evaluating site specific property and market opportunities, broader based assessments of real estate fundamentals, and regional and significant trends. This creates successful real estate strategies and value in acquisitions, dispositions, and development.
Procurement Advice for Design & Construction Services
Brookwood provides comprehensive guidance in anticipating, assessing and advising clients on opportunities and challenges when planning for and managing design and construction programs. Of particular value is the early conceptual advice that Brookwood can provide. Understanding the unique position of the client within the marketplace and procurement environment is essential.
Brookwood’s leaders have unparalleled track records, not only in developing and employing innovative risk mitigation techniques, but also in helping clients find value and benefit from project opportunities. The careers of Brookwood’s managers include experiences as private sector investors, owners and developers. Some have previously served as executives within major institutional investment and development companies. Others, before joining Brookwood, had years of service as government employees with design and construction procurement responsibilities for groups such as local school districts, state agencies or the U.S. Armed Forces. This mix of experience across a broad range of project types can be of significant value to clients, particularly at the earliest, pre-planning phases of projects.
