Bridgewater, New Jersey
The Bridgewater Redevelopment Agency (BRA) retained TischlerBise to expedite negotiations with the developer of a regional shopping center along an interstate highway. The firm conducted a market reconnaissance, a financial feasibility study from the developer's perspective, and a fiscal impact analysis from the public sector's perspective. The BRA used this information to successfully complete an agreement with the developer. This successful project was featured in the book, Edge Cities.
Montgomery County, Maryland
For Montgomery County and the State of Maryland, TischlerBise evaluated the economic impact of a hotel - conference center. Primary and secondary employment multipliers were evaluated under different development and occupancy assumptions. The firm subsequently evaluated the direct and indirect fiscal impacts.
Newton, Massachusetts
In Newton, a suburb of Boston, a major developer proposed a mixed-use project, with the City paying for the structured parking. The City retained TischlerBise to determine the probable market absorption, developer proformas, and financial alternatives. Working with the City, the developer, and a neighborhood coordinating committee, the firm helped to arrange a financial package that included tax increment financing and City participation in office rent increases.
Washington, DC
In Washington, D.C., TischlerBise was the economic consultant on a "housing linkage" project. In this case, the developer requested a density bonus in exchange for a $1.4 million contribution to renovate 44 apartment units within one-third mile of the site. The housing renovation was coordinated by a non-profit community-based organization. This project constituted one of the first experiments in housing linkage for the District government.
