Excel knows from experience that successful Brownfield restoration requires environmental expertise as well as a keen understanding of the real estate transaction and redevelopment process. Our unique staff of experts has successfully integrated remediation into redevelopment for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and open space end uses.
Brownfields are under-utilized and often abandoned properties with potential or actual environmental contamination that are now candidates for redevelopment. These properties are often in areas developers seek, with existing infrastructure and access to major highways and port areas.
Many are also part of areas targeted for redevelopment to increase employment, property values and tax ratables, as well as for creating new business opportunities to fuel continued and sustainable economic growth.
We help municipalities, property owners, private developers and other stakeholders locate candidate Brownfield properties. Our services include:
- Efficiently characterizing environmental conditions
