Our Expertise
|  |
Since 1987 Walker has been a recognized expert in all aspects of siting and developing manufacturing plants and distribution centers. Our consulting services include site selection; negotiation of tax, operating cost and development incentives; capital budgeting; real estate acquisition/disposition; management of design and construction; and developing creative financing and occupancy structures to improve cash flow and reduce taxes.
Our research is customized to the needs of each client and examines every element that has a bearing on the viability of a community for a major capital investment:
• Transportation cost and infrastructure
• Labor quality, availability and cost
• Labor union environment
• Taxes
• Incentives
• Financing structure
• Site and facility design/development
• Access to critical infrastructure, support services and resources
• Quality of life
Walker’s proprietary site selection optimization model, WISER, can shave months off a location consulting project, and it incorporates variables in the analysis that cannot be evaluated by other consultants or real estate brokers.
