Office Real Estate Development Projects
What can Boyer's experienced office building developers do for your company?
As a leader in commercial real estate in Utah, our commercial building developers are experts at tackling any project. When you hire Boyer for your commercial building development, we take over any step of the process, ensuring that the project is handled exceptionally from beginning to end. Here is what our team can do for your company:
Architectural Planning and Design
Our office building developers have the experience to guide you through the architectural planning and design phase. Using our connections to reputable and exceptional architects, you’ll design an efficient office space that will maximize the land and the building’s square footage. We’ll also ensure that your office design needs are met and that you are completely satisfied with the building.
Site Selection and Evaluation
After considering your project’s needs, Boyer works with you to find the ideal site for your development. We evaluate site topography, ease of access, local infrastructure, location, zoning, and more.
Land Acquisition
Land acquisition is a complex process. Let Boyer handle the acquisition for your development. We prepare, negotiate, and manage all leases, contracts, and other documents relating to the acquisition.
Zoning and Entitlements
Our office building developers determine if your project aligns with city zoning laws. Should your project need rezoning, Boyer completes all necessary paperwork to earn approval for the project, which may include attending city council meetings and discussions with council members.
Approvals and Permits
The process of filing for approvals and permits with the appropriate agencies is time intensive. We’re experts at tackling this part of the process, allowing you to focus on other critical elements of the project.
Project Financing and Analysis
Financing a large commercial project often requires funding from outside investors. You’ll need to hire a professional real estate developer who can offset the stress of this process–someone who can quickly secure funding through long-standing banking relationships. As one of the largest real estate developers in the western United States, Boyer has an outstanding reputation for financing and lending obligations.
Building Development
Once plans have been finalized, the process begins receiving bids from contractors, signing final contracts, and starting the building process. Our office building developers oversee this entire process from beginning to end.
Commercial Building Renovations
If you’ve found the ideal location for your office, but it needs some renovations, let Boyer help. We have the connections and experience to ensure everything goes smoothly. In addition, hiring an office real estate developer enables you to maximize your ROI by transferring your building into a profitable investment.
