Development
MG&A creates effective real estate development strategies that optimize development goals and position real estate assets for positive value shift.
MG&A provides comprehensive project management during the pre-development and transition-to-construction phases of a development project. Project management capabilities include management of due diligence procedures and documentation, predevelopment accounting and reporting, project plan development and design vendor coordination, financial pro forma development, partnership structuring, capital structure determination, acquisition and disposition management, marketing and public relations coordination.


Image and Identity Package
Each project occupies a specific niche within the real estate market. MG&A has prepared image and identity packages for development projects to reflect their position in the urban marketplace.


Market Positioning
MG&A provides detailed market analysis tools that document and analyze a wide range of data sets including retail, office, residential and hotel real estate information, existing and projected demographic conditions, road improvement projects and average daily traffic counts, zoning issues, infrastructure availability, synergistic and competitive facilities, environmental assets and nuisances, institutional relationships, and other factors that affect marketability.
Based on market research and analysis, MG&A develops a market strategy to sharpen the marketing focus and maximize market acceptance and penetration. This process initially involves positioning each projected use within the regional and sub-market development pattern as well as creating a project image and identity, “the story.”


Brokerage Services
MG&A assists in the evaluation of potential acquisitions that best meet our client’s determined needs, objectives and criteria. The first step is designing a roadmap of the investor’s investment criteria. MG&A manages the due diligence process in order to provide a thorough evaluation of alternatives through a network of vendors supporting and supplying the process.
MG&A assists clients with the disposition of property held by a client or as part of the development process. MG&A is able to streamline the disposition process to achieve rapid execution and maximum pricing. To ensure that the end result is diligently and professionally serviced,
MG&A will employ a multi-phased action plan that will be customized to the specific needs of the seller. The thorough, step-by-step disposition process will focus on the seller’s objectives, while providing maximum decision-making flexibility.


Urban Design / Masterplanning
MG&A performs comprehensive land utilization analysis and site planning in order to determine the master plan for a development project. Utilizing data collected and analyzed in the market analysis phase, as well as specific attributes of the site, alternative development plans are created. Alternatives are evaluated and a final design selected on the basis of design, cost and potential return on investment. MG&A coordinates with selected site engineering firms and architects to develop final development documents.

Image and Identity Programs:
The logo for Kings Grant, a large mixed-use center, was designed to reflect the long history of the site as the last remaining original land grant in the Carolinas and its location at a major intersection in the interstate system. The logo for Oak Hill, a residential community, reflected its location and principal large tree canopy as amenities.

Park Avenue Mixed Use Development: MG&A created a development strategy for an under-utilized 3.4-acre site, characterized by decaying buildings and located within one mile of downtown Charlotte. This complex mixed-use project successfully resulted in the development of two mixed- use buildings with shared structured parking. A four-story retail and office building was constructed along the principal arterial corridor. The second building, located along the crossing arterial, contained three floors of condominiums over office/retail.
