What Is Property Development Potential Analysis and Project Test Fit?
Property development potential analysis is an essential first step in evaluating a property, site, or larger development area before proceeding with preliminary project studies and technical analyses and architectural design. It establishes what may be built, which zoning parameters apply, and which constraints could affect the future project.
What Does the Analysis Include?
A Project Test Fit analysis may include:
-
review of the designated land use and applicable zoning parameters;
-
preliminary assessment of the potential gross floor area;
-
analysis of site access, infrastructure, and connections with the surrounding environment;
-
review of regulatory, technical, and planning constraints;
-
development and comparison of possible functional and spatial scenarios;
-
identification of key risks affecting the schedule, budget, and subsequent design stages.
What Does the Investor Receive?
The analysis provides a clear understanding of whether the proposed development is realistic, what the actual potential of the property is, and which factors should be considered before proceeding with concept design, engineering design, and technical development.
Comparing different development scenarios at an early stage makes it easier to introduce changes while limiting their potential effect on the project budget and schedule.
