Build Smarter. Invest with Confidence.
Every successful development begins with a single question: Is this project truly viable?
At O’Connell Development Group, we specialize in delivering the answer—with clarity, depth, and precision.
Whether you're a private developer, institutional investor, or public-sector stakeholder, launching a real estate development without a clear understanding of feasibility is like navigating without a compass. That’s why our comprehensive Project Feasibility Studies are designed to eliminate the guesswork, minimize risk, and maximize the potential for your project's success.
Why Feasibility Matters
Real estate development is capital-intensive, complex, and full of variables that can impact the bottom line. Understanding project feasibility isn’t just a smart step—it’s a strategic imperative.
Our feasibility analysis gives you the power to:
Validate Your Vision – Ensure there is genuine market demand for what you're building.
Secure Financing – Demonstrate solid returns to lenders, investors, and stakeholders.
Avoid Pitfalls – Identify zoning issues, regulatory hurdles, and market saturation risks before they become costly surprises.
Make Informed Decisions – Use reliable projections, not assumptions, to steer your project forward.
Before you commit time, capital, or reputation, we help you answer: Should you build this? And if yes—how can you do it most effectively?
Our Method: In-Depth, Objective, and Results-Oriented
We don’t just hand you a binder of stats and projections. Our approach is consultative, data-driven, and actionable.
Here’s what our Project Feasibility Studies typically include:
1. Market Demand Analysis
We examine current and projected market conditions to determine if your development aligns with demand.
This includes:
Demographic trends and population growth
Comparable developments and absorption rates
Price sensitivity and product-market fit
Economic drivers in the region (employment, industries, lifestyle trends)
Our team goes beyond surface-level data. We dig deep to understand what your future tenants, buyers, or users truly want—and whether they’re willing to pay for it.
2. Financial Projections & Return Modeling
Can your project deliver acceptable returns on investment? We help you find out.
We prepare detailed financial modeling that includes:
Development costs and contingencies
Revenue scenarios and lease-up assumptions
Profitability margins (IRR, ROI, cash flow)
Sensitivity analyses for best-case and worst-case scenarios
This financial lens gives you a full picture of potential risks, upside, and breakeven points—so you're never walking in blind.
3. Site & Regulatory Evaluation
Even the best ideas can be derailed by unseen land-use or compliance issues.
Our site feasibility review includes:
Zoning compatibility and required entitlements
Environmental restrictions or impact concerns
Infrastructure availability and public utilities access
Permitting timelines and approval complexity
By flagging regulatory red tape early, we save you from expensive delays or legal hurdles.
4. Risk Identification & Mitigation Planning
Every project carries risk—but identifying and planning for those risks is what separates success from failure.
We assess potential challenges such as:
Market saturation or economic shifts
Construction cost volatility
Political or community opposition
Timing misalignment with cycles or trends
Then we develop mitigation strategies that give you a proactive roadmap, not reactive damage control.
5. Strategic Recommendations
Feasibility isn’t just about “yes” or “no.” Sometimes the smartest move is refinement.
We don’t just test your concept—we improve it. That might mean:
Adjusting unit mix or building type
Phasing development
Repositioning for a different segment
Aligning better with financing or anchor tenant needs
Our recommendations are rooted in real-world market conditions and decades of development experience.
