At Dove Site Consulting, we don’t just provide reports—we deliver clarity, strategy, and confidence for real estate development. Our approach is rooted in real-world development experience, data-driven analysis, and a commitment to uncovering both opportunities and challenges before they become costly mistakes.

What sets us apart? Dove is committed to providing value from the very beginning. Our approach ensures that whether or not the services offered span weeks, months or years; the delivered product will be one that can be utilized by developers, municipalities, investors or operators for years to come. Unlike traditional consulting firms that rely solely on engineering assessments, and providing data that is open for interpretation, our expertise comes from years of firsthand experience in commercial real estate, site selection, and project execution.

How We Elevate Your Project:

1. A Developer’s Mindset, A Consultant’s Precision

Most consultants provide raw data—we turn it into actionable insights. Because we’ve been on the development side of the table, we understand the roadblocks, opportunities, and critical decision points that shape a project’s success.

• We identify hidden site challenges that others overlook.

• We prioritize risk mitigation and financial viability from day one.

• We help clients structure the best deal terms before engaging engineers and contractors.

2. Beyond the Standard Feasibility Study

Many firms conduct feasibility studies that focus solely on market demographics and general projections—we take it further. Our feasibility analyses factor in real-world performance, trade area gaps, competitive threats, and operational recommendations that don’t idealize the performance of you or your clients latest pursuit.

• Realistic financial projections based on operational insights, not just industry benchmarks.

• Traffic pattern analysis and customer behavior analysis for data-driven site selection.

• Competitive positioning assessments that help clients differentiate and outmaneuver existing businesses.

3. Site Investigations That Go Deeper

A strong project starts with a clear understanding of the site. Our Site Investigative Reports go beyond basic zoning and environmental factors to uncover unseen barriers that impact feasibility, permitting, and construction timelines.

• Permitting Comparables – We analyze how similar developments navigated municipal approvals.

• Site-Specific Risk Assessments – From infrastructure gaps to environmental liabilities, we provide detailed recommendations to provide complete oversight during your due diligence process.

• Ingress/Egress & Traffic Capture Optimization – We determine how real customers will interact with your site, not just theoretical pass-by traffic numbers.

4. Market Entry Strategies with a Competitive Edge

For businesses looking to expand, entering a new market without deep local insights can be risky. Our New-to-Market Research Studies provide data-backed roadmaps to help companies successfully establish themselves in new trade areas.

• Consumer behavior mapping – Understanding how local customers spend, shop, and commute.

• Retail demand gap analysis – Identifying where unmet demand exists in key markets.

·      Market Capacity Analysis- Uncovering the optimal market segments and the appropriate approach to covering your target market.

• Site prioritization strategies – Selecting optimal locations based on long-term market viability, not just short-term sales potential.

5. Economic Development That Actually Works

Dove Site Consulting is a trusted partner for municipalities and economic development agencies looking to attract high-impact commercial investments. We help cities and counties create sustainable growth strategies that bring in new businesses, boost tax revenue, and support long-term community expansion.

• Targeted business attraction plans – Identifying the industries and retailers that best fit a municipality’s needs.

• Public-private partnership structuring (P3s) – Helping cities leverage incentives, tax abatements, and funding mechanisms to attract development.

• Employment & workforce development strategies – Ensuring that local residents benefit from economic growth initiatives.

6. The Data You Need, The Execution You Can Trust
