Since 1987, The Walker Companies have represented major retailers and industrial corporations to identify the best solution for new distribution or manufacturing capacity requirements.

Our customized research begins with WISER, Walker's proprietary site selection optimization model.  WISER can shave months off a location consulting project, and produce a far superior result than any other methodology.  We input your logistics and operating objectives into WISER, and the model identifies every location in the U.S. that meets or exceeds your goals.  Click the link for a short video that illustrates this powerful tool.  

We examine every element that has a bearing on the suitability and viability of a community for our clients' major capital investments.

• Transportation cost and infrastructure
• Labor quality, availability and cost
• Labor union threat
• Tax burden
• Site and facility development/design
• Development or acquisition cost and financing structure
• Incentives
• Access to infrastructure or other critical requirements
• Quality of life

We are the only location consulting firm that integrates site selection, incentives, negotiation, real estate services, design and construction management, and equity financing capabilities to provide corporate clients with turnkey expertise to manage a project from conception to occupancy.

Through our Walker Acquisition Fund, we also act as principals in acquiring and developing industrial properties on a nationwide basis.
