Commercial Real Estate Development Services for Developers

We help developers identify sites, evaluate feasibility, and execute commercial real estate projects with confidence. Our development services focus on reducing risk, aligning projects with market demand, and supporting every phase from site selection through completion.

Whether you are planning a build-to-suit, speculative development, or redevelopment project, BARBERMURPHY provides market insight, site expertise, and strategic guidance to improve project outcomes.

How do you identify strong development opportunities?

Successful development starts with selecting the right site in the right market.
We help developers uncover opportunities by:


  • Identifying sites based on growth patterns, demand, and zoning
  • Leveraging relationships with property owners and municipalities
  • Sourcing both on-market and off-market land opportunities
  • Evaluating surrounding development activity and future pipeline

This ensures your project starts with a location that supports long-term success.

How do you evaluate a development site?

Understanding a site’s potential—and its constraints—is critical before moving forward.
Our site evaluation process includes:


  • Zoning and permitted use analysis
  • Review of building codes and regulatory requirements
  • Assessment of utilities, access, and infrastructure
  • Evaluation of environmental conditions (floodplain, drainage, soil)
  • Analysis of surrounding uses and market compatibility

By identifying risks early, we help prevent costly delays and redesigns.

How do you determine if a project is feasible?

Feasibility depends on aligning costs, demand, and long-term performance.


We support early-stage decision-making through:


  • Market demand analysis by property type and user
  • Rental rate and pricing benchmarks
  • Competitive property analysis
  • Input on design elements that impact leaseability and value

This allows you to validate assumptions before committing capital.

How do you align development with tenant and market demand?

Projects perform best when they are designed with the end user in mind.
We help developers position projects to attract tenants by:


  • Identifying target industries and tenant profiles
  • Advising on layout, size, and functional requirements
  • Providing insight into tenant preferences and trends
  • Connecting with prospective tenants early in the process

Early alignment improves lease-up timelines and overall project performance.

What development strategies do you support?

We work with developers across a range of project types:


  • Build-to-suit developments for specific users
  • Speculative developments designed to attract future tenants
  • Redevelopment and repositioning of existing assets

Each strategy requires a different approach to site selection, design, and leasing—and we tailor guidance accordingly.

How do you navigate approvals and coordination?

Development projects require coordination across multiple stakeholders.
We help streamline the process by working with:


  • Municipalities and economic development agencies
  • Engineers, architects, and contractors
  • Legal, environmental, and permitting professionals
  • Financial institutions and lending partners

Our role is to keep your project moving forward efficiently while minimizing friction.
