I help clients make sharper real estate decisions by bringing investor-grade rigour to public mandates and policy-grade discipline to private investments. Practically, that means building capital allocation tools for municipalities, structuring JV and land-lease partnerships that align incentives, designing value-for-money tests for affordable housing and student residence projects, and pressure-testing market entry or site acquisition theses with hard economics. I focus on the decisions that move projects from deck to term sheet: where to deploy capital, how to share risk and what conditions unlock viability. The outcome I aim for is simple: projects that pencil, partners who stay aligned and communities that benefit.
