Preliminary Due Diligence

CLG provides preliminary due diligence services to help clients fully understand the development potential, regulatory framework, and risk profile of a property prior to acquisition. Unlock the full potential of your investment through comprehensive regulatory analysis, site evaluation, and strategic guidance grounded in real-world entitlement and environmental review experience.

Our team conducts theoretical unit yield and density analyses based on applicable zoning regulations, development standards, and site constraints to identify the maximum feasible build-out potential. We evaluate land use designations, overlay districts, and applicable planning policies to determine allowable uses, height, setbacks, and development intensity. In parallel, we assess potential environmental risks, including known constraints, regulatory triggers, and conditions that may require environmental clearance or discretionary review.

This disciplined analysis provides clear insight into entitlement pathways, approval timelines, and regulatory considerations, allowing clients to make informed purchasing decisions with confidence. Our approach reduces uncertainty, protects capital, and positions projects for successful entitlement, permitting, and long-term value creation.
