Real Estate Perspective

Business • Design • Finance • Construction • Asset Management

Ardent’s extensive and broad knowledge of business, design, finance, regulation and construction, in combination with a rare set of skills enables us to recognize and assess the effect everything has on a project.

By tapping into our deep knowledge base, our clients make better decisions, take on less risk and encourage their project teams perform at the highest level.

Real Estate Decisions Powered by Knowledge

Managing commercial real estate properties and development projects are complex endeavors with a multitude of critical elements that only highly-experienced real estate experts can recognize. Too often we see financial projections that rely on faulty assumptions and missing elements. Filling those holes is where Ardent comes in. We dissect and challenge your projections. We critically test all points of your plan so that you don’t find yourself later managing a crisis, ultimately and painfully fighting for the finish line by pouring endless sums of money into the project. This is a more than too common gut-wrenching experience, and one that no one should have to endure.

Before you decide to move forward with a property acquisition, disposition or a major project, engage Ardent’s knowledge-powered and broad-spectrum expertise to:

• Eliminate major cost gaps that often go unnoticed by using comprehensive checklists

• Challenge the reality behind numbers and assumptions before signing contracts or making significant financial commitments.

• Assess the Return On Investment (ROI) for design. Good design pays dividends—poor or average design becomes a detriment.

• Engage Construction Value Engineering (VE) on day-one, rather than waiting later to cut and gut the quality of the product, resulting in a mediocre facility.

• Understand risks and consequences that can be catastrophic if not anticipated at the onset.

Be thorough before you sign contracts and make commitments. Be confident to proceed.

Real Estate Master Plans Made To Work

Many visionary companies and organizations create asset strategies and real estate master plans for their campus or real estate holdings. The planning is extremely valuable and the process is exciting. However, the professional firm preparing the master plan, though very talented in design, often times it is not geared to successfully develop a financial plan and implement it.  Because implementation is difficult, master plans often fail to deliver due to unrealistic assumptions and false starts—ultimately resulting in being ignored or laying dormant for years. 

Ardent’s knowledge-powered approach provides the leadership and experience necessary to kickstart and deliver the vision and benefits of your master plan.

Reenergize. Bring your master plan back to life. Realize the vision.
