Vacant, under-utilized or functionally obsolete commercial and industrial facilities can offer real opportunities to an owner.

As the expert coordinator of the project team, Nautilus Concept prepares a strategy consisting of a market and land use assessment of the property, examination of current market and land use trends, preparation of a financial pro forma and the development of a corporate business plan for value enhancement and disposition.
Adaptive re-use strategies can be undertaken directly for corporate management interests or in conjunction with a real estate marketing firm. We assemble a team with a range of expertise including financial assessment, environmental remediation, traffic analysis, site servicing, architecture and marketing.
