What We Do – Our Services

MXD works with private and public sector clients around the world performing the following services:

	Market Analysis & Feasibility Assessments The foundation of what we do is in determining the right size and mix of uses for a project by undertaking sophisticated real estate analytics. But more than just numbers, we mine market information for insights and inspiration to design the best project for the site. Place Creation Trends & Ideas Working around the world gives us access to the latest ideas at work in Place-Creation. In bringing the latest thinking to the table, we can ensure your development will stand the test of time. Land Use Allocation Getting the right blend of uses for your development is both an Art and a Science. Location, location, location may be at the heart of successful real estate development, but timing is everything. Our role is to help you determine what to build, where to build and when to build.
Development & Merchandise Layout Planning Getting the right layout is crucial to successful real estate development. More than just first impressions, a visitor’s experience upon arrival and departure of a project creates a powerful emotional response. Excellent layout planning helps to ensure this response is positive and long-lasting. We work with architects to ensure that the project works seamlessly in three dimensions, with each component working together to create a great destination. Financial Analysis Great places must also be great investments. In formulating our Development Strategy, we work continually and interactively to blend Creative Vision with Financial Reality. The result is a creative and immersive project that has been thoroughly tested in today’s market conditions. Our Development Strategy can speak directly to potential tenants and investors in a language they are comfortable with. Market Positioning In order for a Place to work, it must occupy a strategic position in the market. It is not enough in today’s competitive market to create “more of the same”. A successful Market Positioning strategy identifies the Target Market and reflects its wants and needs in the form of real estate development.
	Marketing, Branding & Identity Before a Great Place can be built, potential tenants and investors must be made aware of it. We bring together a team of experts in graphic design and marketing, and work with them to craft the right message and media for the project. We also orchestrate Branding & Identity workshops to gather input from local residents for input and direction for the final project identity. Repositioning & Redevelopment Some of the best potential development sites are underutilized infill locations within the built-up area. We have worked extensively with developers and urban organizations from Phoenix to Beirut to redevelop infill sites and reposition/add density to existing commercial uses. Our goal is to identify the highest and best use of property through the intensification of uses to capitalize on marketplace opportunities. Economic Development & Impacts We have extensive experience working with local communities to identify overall Economic Development strategies to pursue. This could range from rationalizing the retail network to reinvigorating the Downtown Core with the right mix of land uses. We also undertake Economic Impact Assessments of new projects. Our emphasis is to identify win-win strategies that enhance the overall destination appeal of a community.
