Measuring the Economic and Financial Impacts of Environmental Hazards Cost-Benefit/Risk Benefit/Cost Effectiveness Analysis Determining the Effects of Environmental Damages Upon Property Values Litigation Support Real Estate Feasibility Analysis Appraisal of Property Values Valuations of life and health in personal injury and wrongful death cases
We are known for quantifying costs and benefits that others omit-from the decline in real estate prices resulting from a toxic chemical leak, to the social costs arising from a body of water rendered unavailable for recreational use, to the benefits of breathing clean air. We can also determine the number of jobs gained or lost under a variety of scenarios. The Cost Benefit Group offers a unique combination of:
Simple--but effective--graphics presentations State-of-the art computerized models Computerized databases of cost benefit and damage studies that facilitate quick turnaround at moderate costs Expertise in real estate, finance, economics, government, and environmental policy Thorough searches of economic literature and databases The creativity needed to measure all costs & benefits, even where effects appear to be impossible to quantify
The Cost Benefit Group has produced studies of 800 properties worth more than two billion dollars in 140 counties and 28 states. Our associates have also evaluated the economic and financial impacts of major power plant construction projects (worth more than $10 billion), utility rates, and environmental hazards upon employment, income, corporate balance sheets, real estate markets, municipalities and utilities. We have appraised vacant land; shopping centers; apartment complexes; office buildings; automobile dealerships; industrial buildings; nursing homes; a marina; and hotels.
These projects were commissioned by Citibank; Chase Manhattan Bank; Marine Midland Bank; the Bank of Montreal; GMAC; the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Chinese American Bank; Home Savings of America; the State of New York; several law firms, and other institutions.
