Market and Financial Feasibility Studies

We belive our insightful and independent feasibility studies are already renowned in Romania. As impartial and informed assessments of project viability, owners, developers, investors, operators, lenders and other interested third parties when making planning, investment and/or financing decisions rely upon these studies. Identifying and defining the specific development or property repositioning opportunity is a key part of the feasibility process. We bring to that task an unrivalled understanding of the market and competitive environment. That derives from our Romanian and SEE regional experience, market research and analytical capabilities. We can make recommendations regarding the project concept and facilities to maximise its long-term competitive advantages, cash flow and on-going value.
A credible feasibility study is a critical first step in any project and is usually required by: Owners and Developers for internal project review; Financing Institutions and Investors for investment decisions; International Hotel Groups for project evaluation; and Architects & Designers for facility requirements and design parameters.
