Site Selection

A new location involves many variables. Most concern your business needs — especially your labor requirements —which need to be studied intently long before you even consider the space that might address them.
 
Cresa’s experts will walk you through the entire planning process, from initial needs assessment through final decision, including site selection services, incentive negotiations and real estate site procurement for headquarters, e-commerce, warehouse/distribution and fulfillment operations, call center and the customer support industry. We have completed assignments in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, and Asia.

We’ll help you find a market and location that reduces attrition, increases productivity and improves quality of service.  Our research is wide-ranging and thorough, and includes the following:
 

• Demographic and labor analysis to match your ideal labor profile
• Labor availability and sustainability analyses, that looks at cost, access and quality.
• Population trends including current area growth and migration rates
• Identification of ancillary labor forces, including military and college students, as well as levels of underemployment
• Comparisons of available infrastructure, including telecommunications, transportation, power capabilities, utilities, POPs, redundant and fiber loops.

We coordinate the entire process, from site tours to meetings with economic development officials, and look at everything from growth plans for the community, to benefit and recruiting packages and drive times.

We’ll negotiate the most competitive incentive packages available.  Companies that make incentives and grants a priority in their corporate culture have a greater chance of capturing all credits and incentives available.  Taking the proper steps ahead of time can result in substantial dividends.

We will help you by identifying all existing grant and incentive processes, reviewing community and government relations procedures, and creating a plan of action for approaching the incentive/grant negotiations tailored to your company.
