Marketing Feasibility
Study

The purpose of the Marketing Feasibility Study is
to determine the suitability of this property for
profitable development, and to define optimal
products and amenities in accordance with
projected market demand, and to project sales
absorption and annual revenues from
development of this property.
The methodology entails examination of the
site's market potential followed by research on
the real estate consumer market and on
competitive real estate products. Research
findings are analyzed with respect to property
location, potential competition, and preliminary
development plans to define marketing feasibility
in terms of potential market share, marketing
constraints and opportunities and projected
absorption rate and pricing ranges. These
feasibility components provide the basis for
definitive recommendations on development
potential, development strategy and a cost-
effective marketing and sales strategy.
