What We Do

Every real estate developer begins with a basic problem: finding projects that work for them. Kathan Advisors will focus our efforts on markets and sites that work for our clients. Smaller development firms and many medium-sized firms have little to no dedicated resources for sourcing projects. Even large firms with greater resources cannot explore every potential avenue for deals, effectively creating a "passive" project pipeline. Unlike traditional real estate brokers, we go far beyond simply searching for available land. Our team will provide a full spectrum of services that will create a complete picture of the development. This allows our clients to make the best decision based on the most information.

Our Services

Kathan Advisors' consulting services encompass all aspects of the development process, from site sourcing and pre-development to design, construction and operations. Services such as project entitlement, governmental approvals, design consulting, construction management, and operational oversight are performed for our clients as needed per project to ensure success at every level.

We actively collaborate with all members of the client, design, construction, and operation teams, involving them in every step of the process.
