Managing Risk & Maximizing ROI Through Strategic Environmental Due Diligence

In the most recent installment of our Webinar Series, Mike Fisher, PG, CEP, WGI’s Environmental Lead for Remediation, delves into strategies for minimizing the risk associated with developing potentially hazardous sites. The session explores the significance of avoiding potential hazards during the early stages of development, emphasizing the substantial impact this can have on maximizing returns for developers navigating today’s dynamic real estate market.

Within the context of Commercial Real Estate, due diligence stands as the crucial process through which a prospective buyer thoroughly assesses a potential land acquisition. The key practices of accounting/financing, legal, and environmental conduct retrospective reviews aimed at identifying liabilities that a potential buyer aims to avoid.

In urban, suburban, and even marginal rural communities, locating well-positioned property free from historical use and activities with environmental impact has become increasingly challenging.

The discussion centers on the approach of conducting Strategic Environmental Due Diligence, wherein a prospective purchaser adopts a risk-management strategy for property acquisition. The session explores how Strategic Environmental Due Diligence elevates the investigation and evaluation process, assessing risks related to planned development, calculating associated costs, and integrating those costs into the overall Return on Investment (ROI).
