We Can Help You Write The Rules
10/18/2011A developer wanted a mixed-use residential project on a 1.7-acre abandoned downtown lumberyard. No rules existed to allow that type of project, so Atwell team members worked with the city to write a new downtown zoning classification.
With coordinated planning, engineering, environmental and consulting services, Atwell team members helped create a project with more than 44 units that exceeded the developer's financial goals. Rapid sales of the project's live-work units and two- and three-story town homes gave the city new residents and property tax revenues, and added profits to the developer's bottom line.
Atwell Team Members Turn Surplus Real Estate Into Revenue
10/10/2011A Big Three auto manufacturer sold 150 acres of surplus property for 2.5 times its appraised value - turning a non-performing asset into a healthy profit - after Atwell team members guided the client through a meticulous master-plan redesign and land rezoning process.
The land faced significant challenges to development. Part of a 300-acre site with a vacant manufacturing plant, it was zoned incorrectly and situated outside the local sewer district. Potential redevelopment uses were constrained by a public master plan that called for industrial/manufactured zoning.
Atwell team members guided the client through a painstaking 14-month effort to redesign the municipality's master plan and rezone the property. This same team also showed the client how to retain the most valuable land for its own use or a future sale.
With the issues resolved, the 150-acre parcel sold quickly, transforming it from a drain on the books to a revenue gene
