Site Selection: Off-Market Signaled Corner

Client Challange:

In the competitive Aiken, SC market, Pursuit Development was in search of a premier location for their national retail endeavor. Notably, Aiken boasts numerous top-performing retail locations, underscoring the high demand and limited availability of prime development sites. Recognizing these challenges, Pursuit Development enlisted the expertise of the Finem Team. Leveraging our advanced site selection methodology and unique ability to uncover off-market opportunities, we meticulously curated a selection of sites perfectly tailored to Pursuit Development's specifications.

Action Steps:

• Understood the Assignment: Through our conversations with the client, we took time to understand exactly where they wanted to be and why. We understood their target demographics, traffic counts, access, and other necessary information needed. This allowed us to only send sites that fit their target criteria and allowed them to feel heard and understood.

• Began Extensive Campaign: Next, we began working on the assignment by contacting all of the off-market sites that we already had in our database along with identifying other sites that fit the criteria. We then put these owners in an extensive drip campaign to determine if any of these owners would sell. We were ultimately able to identify a signaled corner site, with amazing traffic, access, and demographics in Aiken, Sc.

• Extensive Negotiations: One would think the hard part was behind us, however, due to the owners caring a lot about their land (as all owners should) the negotiations proved to be very complicated, however, we were able to secure a signed PSA.

Value-Added Results:

We successfully secured an exceptional off-market site for both Pursuit Development and Tidal Wave in a prime location at a competitive price. Throughout the intricate transaction, the collaborative nature of these two esteemed companies was instrumental in ensuring a seamless process.

Testimonial: Buckley Davis, Pursuit Development

”Jonathan at the Finem Group at Meybohm Commercial was an absolute pleasure to work with. Jonathan and his team were able to provide us with an off-market site at a signaled corner in a strong retail trade area that was perfect for us. Aiken and Augusta is an extremely hard market to crack but I believe that the Finem Group’s local knowledge of the market and committed efforts is the reason we were able to secure the site we did. As a developer, we work with brokers and owners all the time so we know how important having a good broker is during the site selection process and we couldn't have had a better team to work with in Aiken other than the Finem Group. If you are looking for a site in Georgia/Carolina market give Jonathan a call.”
