Housing Studies

Macro- and micro-level analysis of housing markets and development sites through use of AGA's employment-driven statistical model and experienced field research staff. These data assist in determining long-term market trends and future absorption potential for various types of rental and for-sale housing.

 

Retail Analysis

AGA's retail land use model compares retail supply of a site area with our simulation of retail space demand to identify development opportunities for various forms of retail development - neighborhood centers, community centers, power centers, regional centers, outlet centers, and entertainment retail.

 

Office Analysis

AGA's office model compares changes in office supply relative to employment-driven changes in demand to ascertain absorption potential and future vacancy rates. The statistical model can be supplemented with local broker data or on-site field surveys.

 

Industrial Analysis

AGA's industrial model simulates demand and supply conditions for industrial markets to assist in the determination of future vacancy and lease rates, absorption potential, and optimal building sizes. This statistical model is typically supplemented with broker or field survey data to provide qualitative recommendations to enhance project performance.

 

Fiscal Impact Studies

AGA's fiscal impact studies determine if a proposed real estate project will generate enough incremental revenue to cover the expense of providing public services likely to be demanded once on-site land uses are developed and occupied. Such studies represent a form of cost-benefit analysis that focuses on the operating service structure of an affected city or county agency. Fiscal impact studies are most often used to address socio-economic concerns of environmental impact reports (EIR) and to evaluate the fiscal merits of entitlement approval.

 

Lodging Studies

Room night demand for various classes of lodging facilities is determined through careful evaluation of transient occupancy tax collections, adjusted for inflation and changes in room supply or rates of taxation. This analysis is supplemented with interviews of area hotel operators to determine reported occupancy rates, room rates, profile of demand, etc.

 

Special Studies

Staff at AGA are routinely involved in a variety of research-related activities - financial optimization, pro forma analysis, expert witness testimony, and labor market studies - and land use analysis - self storage, RV campgrounds, sports stadiums, etc.
