Development is A series of expensive decisions

Choose the level of support your project needs

Uncommon Developer helps owners make those decisions with greater clarity.

Our work ranges from concentrated project assessments to ongoing advisory and full owner's representation.

The level of involvement depends on where you are in the development process and how much internal development capacity you already have.


Development Assessment

One Time Engagement

BEFORE YOU COMMIT MORE CAPITAL, PRESSURE TEST THE PROJECT.

The Development Assessment is designed for owners who already have a project in motion but need an experienced development perspective before moving forward.

You may be evaluating a property.

Working through early design.

Trying to determine whether your budget is realistic.

Or wondering if the concept still makes sense after costs have changed.

We review the project from the perspective of both developer and hospitality owner.


Development Advisory

Ongoing Advisory

EXPERIENCED DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE WITHOUT BUILDING AN INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

Development Advisory is designed for owners who intend to lead their own project but want an experienced developer alongside them.

Think of it as having a senior development advisor in your corner.

We stay close enough to understand the project, but ownership remains responsible for day-to-day management of consultants and contractors.


Owner’s
Representation

Embedded Representation

SOME PROJECTS NEED MORE THAN ADVICE.

Owner's Representation is for hospitality owners who need someone actively representing their interests throughout development.

In this role, Uncommon Developer becomes more deeply embedded with the project team and helps ownership coordinate the many disciplines involved in getting a hospitality property built and opened.
