The path of a commercial real estate project is rarely linear and can include design changes, budget updates, permit issues, material lead times and site specific construction challenges, to name a few. It’s how these issues are managed that will determine if a project is successful or not. That’s where an owner’s representative provides tremendous…

The senior housing market is going through an unprecedented growth period. Demographic changes in the U.S., increased longevity and changing resident expectations are creating strong demand for new senior housing communities, assisted living housing, memory care centers and active adult developments. Meanwhile, developers, operators and nonprofit organizations are grappling with soaring build-out costs, labor shortages,…

Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with clients about what they really need from a real estate advisor. There are many common answers that define the type of service that is required to meet a client’s goals. The answers are remarkably consistent. They’re looking for someone who can provide them with clear guidance on…

Construction projects are exciting. They represent growth, vision, and long-term value. But they’re also among the most complex, high-stakes endeavors a property owner can undertake. Budgets balloon. Timelines slip. Contractors and architects speak a language that can feel foreign to even the most business-savvy owner. That’s exactly why having an Owner’s Representative in your corner…

Every construction project starts with a vision: a new affordable housing community, a health care facility, a municipal building, or a commercial development. And every owner wants the same outcome. Deliver it on time, on budget, and without costly surprises. In recent years, that has become harder to achieve. Construction costs swing unpredictably. Permitting takes…

Construction delays can impact every aspect of a project. Missed deadlines often lead to increased costs, strained stakeholder relationships, scheduling conflicts, and disruptions to future operations. Whether developing affordable housing, senior living communities, healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, or public projects, maintaining schedule predictability is one of the most important factors in achieving a successful outcome. …

Construction projects rarely go exactly as planned. Even with a good idea, a talented design group and a qualified contractor, jobs can fall apart when things fail to communicate, schedules slide or crucial choices are put back on the calendar. There is risk at every stage of development. The issue is not whether there will…

Many projects encounter unforeseen delays before the actual construction of a building even begins. As an experienced Owner’s Representative, many times these issues arise from lack of understanding of zoning, permits, and other entitlements required by the local and state jurisdiction where the project is taking place. Zoning, permits, and entitlements and the approvals process…

Sustainable design has moved from a niche concept to a core expectation in commercial development. Clients, tenants, and investors are all paying closer attention to how buildings perform over time, not just how they look on day one. For firms like BC Group, this shift isn’t a trend to chase. It’s a smarter way to…

Location in commercial real estate doesn’t just matter. It matters deeply. Your location can be a powerful asset, driving leasing, operations and value over the long-term. Conversely, an inferior site can create all sorts of problems from the outset, intensifying challenges through the development, entitlement and move-in process. Site selection is where you can mitigate…

In real estate development, due diligence often gets treated like a checklist. Environmental report? Check. Zoning review? Check. Survey? Check. Pro forma? Check. On paper, everything looks tidy. In practice, this is the phase where projects quietly succeed or start to unravel. The reports are only as useful as the decisions made from them. That’s…

Portland is watching a shift in the dialogue around housing from simple “adding more homes” to building strong connected communities now and into the future. That’s exactly what the hollywoodHUB project represents. Family Access Network (FAN) partnered with BC Group and others to develop this affordable housing project located near the Hollywood Transit Center in…
