BMA creates solutions that draw on and synthesize our experience in a number of key areas – real estate, environmental, risk mitigation, information technology – to produce integrated, holistic solutions that balance VR (value recovery) opportunities and RM strategies to achieve optimal results for our clients.
Real Estate
To maximize VR opportunities, it is necessary to understand an owner’s real estate assets from a market perspective, not just as “brownfields” (i.e., environmental liabilities). Our real estate expertise allows us to define realistic goals and tap a wide network of resources to evaluate and pursue optimal VR strategies. Specific real estate-related expertise includes …
- Valuing sites and evaluating markets (industrial, commercial, residential)
- Identifying synergies among sites within or across markets and packaging / bundling sites for maximum VR and long term RM results
- Understanding and anticipating the concerns of local community development planners, the public and other stakeholders – and how to strategically work around those concerns
- Determining best end use scenarios, which most often drives the strategy to determine the optimal VR/RM strategy for a site
Environmental
To develop an integrated VR/RM plan, it is necessary to understand the environmental condition of a property from both technical and regulatory perspectives. Our experience as environmental consultants and advisors allows BMA to evaluate existing site environmental information, identify knowledge gaps, evaluate risks and recommend specific VR/RM strategies. Specific environmental expertise includes …
- Familiarity with environmental laws, regulations and policies (federal, state and local)
- Experience working with environmental regulatory agencies throughout the US (remediation and compliance)
- Ability to evaluate remediation risks/costs and options for remediation in a coordinated approach with Real Estate/end-use analysis, which drives VR and RM strategies
- Experience identifying and obtaining government incentives (grants, credits, loans) for the remediation and sustainable redevelopment of surplus properties
- Ability to identify and effectively facilitate green/sustainable redevelopment options and monetize associated eco-credits (natural resource enhancements, alternative energy, etc.)
Risk Mitigation
Effective RM planning requires an integrated, holistic approach that reflects a range of concerns, not just the most convenient or expedient approach. BMA has extensive experience creating effective RM strategies in a wide range of scenarios. Specific RM capabilities include …
- Creating effective RM packages for the full spectrum of contaminated sites
- Tailoring environmental RM to create synergies with proposed end use scenarios
- Understanding and incorporating RM objectives of all internal client stakeholders (legal, business, technical, financial)
- Understanding need for a balanced approach that does not sacrifice VR opportunities for an expedient “quick fix” RM scenario
Information Management
BMA offers three proprietary information management systems to support the development of optimal VR and RM strategies: Brownfield Online Connexion (BOX),™ Risk Transfer Online Connexion (ROX)™ and Integrated Property Management System (IPMS)®.
- BOX™ is used for property divestments and allows us to present real estate and environmental information to a select group of brownfield specialists for confidential review.
- ROX™ allows BMA to present environmental cost and risk information to risk transfer companies (RTCs) in a laser-focused format that speeds and facilitates the risk transfer due diligence process, allowing RTCs to provide stronger offers more quickly for our clients than with a more typical “data dump.”
- IPMS® is an intelligent information management system that integrates and presents in a digestible format a wide variety of data regarding real estate characteristics/value, environmental compliance and remediation issues, carrying costs and other data for large portfolios of properties. IPMS® is the “backbone” of the BOX™/ROX™ platform.
- Custom IT Solutions for managing site risk and liability information for larger portfolios of legacy liabilities for companies with special or unique RM concerns and objectives.
