How Environmental Due Diligence Protects Development Investments

Environmental constraints can derail even the most promising real estate opportunities. Hidden contamination, protected species, or wetland boundaries discovered mid-project do not just create delays, they can render developments financially unviable.

ASTI Environmental’s contribution to comprehensive site evaluation includes:

• Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments that screen for contamination requiring expensive remediation, giving developers critical negotiating leverage before closing
• Ecological surveys conducted by certified professionals to identify threatened or endangered species, wetlands, and sensitive habitats that may restrict buildable areas or trigger mitigation requirements
• Brownfield redevelopment expertise that has helped clients secure hundreds of millions in incentives, transforming environmental liabilities into financial advantages

Our environmental scientists and ecologists work alongside PEA Group’s multidisciplinary team to deliver a complete picture of site constraints and opportunities, before you commit to purchase.

Environmental due diligence is not just about avoiding problems. It is about understanding exactly what you are buying, building realistic budgets, and identifying opportunities others might miss.
