Successful commercial real estate development requires experience and expertise to manage all aspects of a project. From evaluating the market, site selection, securing public approvals, leading the design and construction process and eventually overseeing the move-in and occupancy, a significant investment of time, resources and capital will be expended.

It requires careful oversight at every stage of development from negotiation and planning to labor-management through project completion. The Overton Group can help.
