Realistic Solutions

A city needs to revitalize its downtown....

A business must decide whether to adapt existing
space or build a new facility....

A bank needs to determine which locations will generate
the most business in a changing economic environment....

When it's time to make decisions like these, you don't need theories or guesswork. You need answers.

At RKG Associates, when it comes to resolving the complex issues surrounding economic, planning, and real-estate projects, we deliver. That's because we're one of the only firms in the nation offering years of expertise in all areas since 1981. The RKG consulting team consists of economists, planners, real estate analysts, financial analysis, appraisers, and project managers. We also call upon an extensive network of affiliates and consultants to provide complementary technical expertise in such areas as architecture, engineering, and environmental science.

Our clients always have direct access to the partners of our company--one is assigned to manage each and every project we take on. And whether it's a large-scale project or a smaller undertaking, we make our full range of skills and disciplines available.

Economic Development Consulting
Much of our experience has been directed to the conversion and reuse of existing, underutilized properties such as closed military bases, former state institutions, and abandoned industrial complexes. However, many of the same analytical approaches for these difficult properties have broader application in the more "strategic" forms of economic development planning and employment generation.

Urban Revitalization Strategies
Already a leader in the Northeastern United States, RKG is developing a national reputation in urban revitalization and redevelopment projects. We have extensive experience in the market and financial aspects of complex real estate investments in downtown or urban settings. Our urban development work includes:

  • municipal parking facilities
  • medical and office complexes
  • mixed-use projects
  • residential developments
  • the reuse of former school buildings and brownfield sites

Real Estate Research and Consulting
RKG has worked with developers, lenders, governmental agencies, authorities, and institutions in helping to address a wide variety of real estate needs. Often working in conjunction with architects, engineers, and land planners, RKG has provided market research, financial feasibility, and appraisal services to projects in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Transportation and Land Use
RKG has worked extensively with highway, port, airport, and rail projects throughout the eastern portion of the U.S. The focus has been on issues related to land use impacts, fiscal and economic impacts, and financial viability of alternate scenarios.
