Howells Alliance - Murray Hill, New Jersey

As you may already be aware, if you are embarking on a significant development or construction project, you are about to enter a world that is particularly complex, sometimes even seemingly arcane. From brokers, lawyers, lenders and developers to architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers; to federal, state and municipal authorities, regulatory bodies, zoning authorities, building inspectors and community groups; the vast array of participants and their various roles can be daunting. More importantly, all of the various functions need to be organized, intricately coordinated and closely managed if the project is to be a success. To complicate this situation even further, you need to be secure in the knowledge that your interests are paramount.

It is the wise Owner who is alert to the complexity involved and well understands the potential for risk exposure, be it cost overruns, missed deadlines or worse.. an end product that does not adequately support essential services and business objectives.

Your solution to mitigate this risk is to employ the services of a vigilant, competent, experienced Developer and Manager , with proven integrity, to act as your development partner. Our strict policy, as part of our due diligence in the management of every development project, is that all financial accounting must be conducted "open book" by the entire team.

A significant and particularly important aspect of our expertise is our experience with very large major projects. While the general principles of real estate development are comparatively similar across the size and industries spectrum, the complexity of each facet of a development (and consequently the inherent risks) increases exponentially as projects increase in size. Our extensive experience in large complex projects translates into a finer tuned focus, particularly for more modest sized projects, which really maximizes value for our client.

Finally, one of the most critical roles that we perform to ensure a successful project is to coordinate and facilitate the smooth uninterrupted flow of communication and information dissemination between and across the full spectrum of the team. The best analogy..we assume the role of "Orchestra Conductor", every player must move through their scores, each coordinated in synchronized harmony with the whole. The avoidance of adversarial undertones is essential in ensuring the collaboration and synergy that smoothes the path to the successful culmination of any project.
