Approach

Our Approach

1

Engage

Platinum Advisors LLC has a multi-level approach to project approval that appeases all stakeholders and likewise gains positive momentum for the project. It is essential to gain the trust of these groups, so the project is protected “behind the scenes.” The approach focuses on the engagement of key stakeholders, public community groups, and non-profits, and community businesses.

2

Define

The backbone of development is to define and understand the community and neighborhood before proposing any plans. Once the character of the community is established, we define the consultation plan and engage both the proponents and opponents of the community. By seeking out opponents of the project early, we can quantify the problems and forecast how to handle the proponents and opponents in the neighborhood.

3

Develop

The construction process allows total control over each aspect of the development phase. The systematic process allows for checks and balances throughout the development of The Pernicano. Our depth of knowledge in the development arena offers years of experience, Construction management and forecasting is the most important measure in the preliminary phases of the development as it allows us to value engineer the project in the most efficient manner.

3

Market

Platinum Advisors LLC focuses on the relationships within the team to execute the sales, leasing, and marketing strategy for the new development. These team members are chosen at the inception of the project in order for a cohesive team to work through and understand the development from the initial phases and design review.
