Brownfields Redevelopment Strategies and Funding Resources


Excel understands that Brownfield projects are essentially real estate deals as well as potential environmental projects! Our experience and expertise in this specialized field can help you turn these abandoned, under-utilized, idled industrial and commercial facilities, where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination, into economic opportunities!

Brownfield Evaluation - Excel will inventory potential brownfield properties and evaluate their financial viability, based on both environmental and economic concerns.

Preliminary Assessments
  • Excel's team of highly experienced specialists perform physical "walk-through" surveys and a review of site records to identify areas of suspected environmental concern as well as indicators of potential liability.
  • Excel's approach is to design a focused program to determine whether areas of suspected environmental concern exist at the site and whether additional assessment is required.
  • Reports produced by Excel are timely and provide for quick "user-friendly" review.

Funding Determination - Excel is familiar with the complete range of financial funding sources that can be applied to brownfield properties. We will assist in the preparation and submission of funding applications and redevelopment plans to relevant State and Federal programs.

Redevelopment Planning - Excel will evaluate the end-use potential for each site according to individual and community redevelopment goals and strategies.

Environmental Management - Excel will provide all site characterization, investigation, and remediation services necessary to determine the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts. We will also evaluate the feasibility, costs and schedules for cleanup options and negotiate final cleanup plans with the responsible regulatory agencies.

Marketing Services - Successful redevelopment of brownfield properties requires evaluation of the needs and goals of all stakeholders to achieve a "win-win" situation for all participants. Excel unites all concerned parties including municipalities, attorneys, realtors, developers, investors, and lenders.

Tax Incentive Development - Assistance is provided in structuring Economic Opportunity Zone incentives, which are appropriate for actual remediation costs. We will help assure that tax reliefs and incentives offered to purchasers are realistic, and in keeping with short-term and long-term goals.

Closing the Deal - Excel understands that every development project has a time-sensitive "window of opportunity" that is critical if the deal is to be successful. Our experience in working with the economic, regulatory, technical and financial criteria allows us to put together a dynamic, pragmatic package that ensures speedy resolution.
