COMMERCIAL
Cash flow stability is crucial for real property owners, developers, managers and lenders. The key to predictability lies in understanding the nuances of each property relative to its performance potential.

Our professionals are highly specialized; abreast of the most current conditions and trends impacting the retail, office and industrial markets they serve. Twining dependable market and physical asset knowledge with industry leading research and a 35,000+ property database, they highlight property specific advantages and disadvantages that help clients accurately predict and plan short, medium and long-term return.

CULTURE/ENTERTAINMENT
Cultural and entertainment facility owners often face severe challenges securing adequate funding, requiring them to carefully balance the desire to provide a stimulating environment with the need to demonstrate positive financial returns.  

We have advised on many of the most recognized facilities in the country: Air Canada Centre, The Royal Ontario Museum, the National Ballet and Conservatory of Music, to name a few. This experience allows us to provide measurable advice that enables these organizations to manage their real estate requirements relative to their often limited capital and operating funds.

DUE DILIGENCE
 To be competitive, investment and development professionals need ready access to reliable facts and market interpretation that enable them to make prompt risk minimal decisions. They need to have a clear understanding of the opportunities, threats as well as upside and downside risks.

Altus' Due Diligence team is the industry benchmark. We offer a full palette of acquisition support services across Canada, delivered by specialists whose depth of local knowledge is complimented by unmatched proprietary research tools and a coast to coast pool of experience. The team draws on all three Altus business units - Cost Consulting; Research, Valuation and Advisory; and Realty Tax. Their collective expertise has enabled the team to develop a comprehensive procedural approach for due diligence assignments that is tailored to meet clients' needs.

HEALTH CARE
 Managing the real estate asset requirements of Health Care facilities is complicated; with administrators needing to maintain high quality healthcare services while balancing tight capital and operating requirements.

We understand the primary goal of healthcare facilities is to provide healing and comfort. Having helped health care providers save millions of dollars, we are well equipped to advise clients in cost planning and cost management of the facilities that provide high quality healthcare.

INFRASTRUCTURE
 Expansive residential growth combined with decades of limited infrastructure maintenance has mandated the need for wide spanning infrastructural renewal.

 Having consulted on more than $12 billion worth of capital construction projects over the passed two years alone, we are well equipped to advise on the feasibility, cost planning and on-going development cost management of these facilities.

LEED™
Sustainable development practices are increasingly becoming an important real property consideration – with both with cost and public perception implications.  The decision to “go green” should not be based simply on initial cost, but on the opportunity to improve a building’s return on investment over the life of the asset.

With more than 10 LEED certified experts on staff, we are able to offer comprehensive LEED support services. Our accredited professionals are specialized, which means they are able to hone in on the property type specific issues that help clients achieve the greatest return for every dollar they spend.

RESIDENTIAL LAND DEVELOPMENT
The success of a development project hinges on a thorough understanding of a complex set of variables - ranging from land valuation and project feasibility to construction planning, budgeting, on-going development cost management and tax positioning.

Over a two year period, we have been involved in development projects totaling more than $10 billion – including a large percentage of the high-rise condominium projects in the Greater Toronto Area. Drawing on this experience, we are able to provide clients with unparallel advice and expertise that enables them to negotiate solid contracts and make sound ROI positive decisions.
