      Feasibility Studies

      Smart real estate investments begin with rigorous feasibility analysis. Our real estate feasibility studies go beyond surface-level assessments to deeply evaluate financial viability, market demand, competitive positioning, regulatory requirements, and investment returns. Whether you are launching a residential development, mixed-use project, hospitality venture, or retail destination, our studies offer a clear, unbiased roadmap.

      Highest and Best Use (HBU) Studies

      In rapidly evolving markets like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the highest and best use of real estate assets is constantly shifting. Our HBU studies identify the most profitable and sustainable development scenarios by balancing market potential, zoning regulations, and investment objectives. Whether you are optimizing an undeveloped land parcel or repositioning an underperforming asset, we guide you to the best path forward.

      Transaction Advisory

      Real estate transactions are complex and high-stakes — especially in the UAE and KSA's competitive environments. We provide specialized Transaction Advisory services for real estate acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures, ensuring that every transaction is strategically sound and financially rewarding. We advise investors, developers, family offices, and institutional players across residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, and mixed-use sectors.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      A real estate feasibility study assesses whether a proposed real estate project is viable from a financial, market, and regulatory standpoint. It helps investors, developers, and landowners make informed decisions by analyzing project costs, market demand, expected revenues, risks, and ROI.
       At Platform01 Consulting, our feasibility studies ensure you have a clear, data-driven roadmap before committing significant capital.

      A Highest and Best Use (HBU) study identifies the most profitable, legally permissible, and physically possible use of a property. It considers various development scenarios and recommends the optimal use based on market trends, financial returns, and zoning regulations.
       Our HBU studies help clients in the UAE and Saudi Arabia maximize land value and investment potential with confidence.

      You should conduct a feasibility study before acquiring land, before starting project design, or before seeking investors or financing. A feasibility study provides the necessary validation to proceed or pivot, saving time, money, and reducing investment risks.

      The timeline for a feasibility study depends on project size, complexity, and market conditions. Typically, at Platform01 Consulting, a standard feasibility study can be completed within 4 to 6 weeks. For larger or more complex developments, additional time may be required for detailed research and financial modeling.

      To begin a study, we generally require:

      • Property location and size details
      • Intended development concept (if any)
      • Access to title deeds or ownership documents
      • Budget parameters (if available)
      • Any preliminary design layouts or masterplans (optional)

      Our team will guide you through a customized checklist during the project kickoff to ensure a smooth process.

      We cover a wide range of sectors including:

      • Residential (apartments, villas, communities)
      • Commercial (offices, business parks)
      • Retail (shopping malls, strip malls)
      • Hospitality (hotels, resorts, serviced apartments)
      • Industrial (logistics hubs, warehouses)
      • Mixed-use developments

      Our expertise extends across the UAE and KSA’s dynamic real estate markets.

       

      Unlike brokers who mainly facilitate transactions, our Real Estate transaction advisory focuses on strategy, valuation, due diligence, structuring, and negotiation.
