Due Diligence in Commercial Development

Due diligence is essential in Florida commercial real estate to identify risks, verify value, and ensure a sound investment. This process typically spans 30 to 90 days after contract signing.

1

Pre-Purchase Phase

Preliminary due diligence before signing a letter of intent or contract to evaluate project viability.

  • Initial site and market analysis: location, zoning, and ROI potential
  • Basic financial review of property records and comparable sales
  • Quick environmental scan for flood zones or contamination risks
  • Legal checks for major title concerns or deed restrictions
2

Comprehensive Investigation

Detailed reviews across physical, legal, financial, and environmental dimensions once under contract.

  • Physical: Inspections of structures, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
  • Legal: Title searches, zoning verification, permit history
  • Financial: Income statements, rent rolls, expense reports, cash flow projections
  • Environmental: Phase I/II ESAs for soil contamination, asbestos, and wetlands
3

Resolution & Closing

Address findings and prepare the project for a clean close and transition into active development.

  • Negotiate repairs, credits, or price adjustments with sellers
  • Secure financing based on verified and documented data
  • Finalize permits and approvals for development plans
  • Prepare for closing with complete, organized documentation

South Florida Commercial Building Codes

Florida’s 8th Edition Building Code (2023) governs all commercial construction, emphasizing safety, energy efficiency, and resilience. We stay current with all code updates and handle all permit submissions.

  • Wind resistance per ASCE 7 — design speeds up to 180 mph in HVHZ
  • Fire safety ratings for walls, floors, and roofs based on occupancy classification
  • ADA compliance for entrances, restrooms, and accessible paths of travel
  • Energy conservation: minimum R-values for insulation and efficient HVAC
  • Occupancy classifications and exit requirements for safe evacuation
  • HVHZ extras: impact-resistant glazing, enhanced anchoring, Miami-Dade NOA approvals
