Public/Private Joint Ventures - MHP supports land owners and developers in preparing for, negotiating and structuring complex public/private real estate ventures. We advise on tax increment financing, ground leases, land conveyances, loans, equity participation agreements, subsidies, and entitlements. Using knowledge and tactics culled from an extensive history of representing public agencies in these types of transactions, we are an especially strong advocate for private sector entities.

Entitlement Coordination - We assist property owners and developers in the formulation of strategies to handle complex and controversial entitlement issues. The firm is a strong advocate when interfacing with political bodies and agencies to achieve a stated entitlement goal, and is effective in coordinating consultants involved in the technical aspects of entitlement processing.

Market & Financial Feasibility Analysis - For land owners, developers, equity partners, lenders and public agencies, MHP provides expert analysis of development programs. We assess highest and best use, measure market support, estimate development costs, prepare income estimates and cash flows, and calculate development returns.

Strategic Development Planning - The firm works with land owners and developers to maximize financial returns from real estate development projects, addressing issues of physical site planning, land uses and density, and construction alternatives. We test different development scenarios and phasing to arrive at an optimal development program capable of being capitalized and absorbed into the marketplace.

Property & Portfolio Valuations - MHP provides estimates of value for land, improved properties, loans and portfolios. For land holdings, these economic valuations are based on development economics and land residual theory, improved properties are valued using advanced cash flow modeling techniques, and loans are evaluated based on repayment estimates and collateral value.
