Feasibility Study

Your land parcel is waiting to host the next best project in your city. Should the project be an office project, retail mall or high street, a housing project, a co-living asset or even a warehouse? CRE Matrix RAW assesses the viability of a project prior to the formal planning process using data as a core along with our in-depth field research to clearly understand where the market is moving towards. Our data sets take advantage of real estate transactions and also unique data sets which go beyond real estate to understand the demographics, income and ethnicity patterns in a particular locality. Our unique approach of using unorthodox data sets to find correlations with sales have made us the most preferred feasibility study partner for developers across India.

Highest & Best Use Study

We study the local real estate market, including supply and demand factors, to determine the most profitable use for the property. Our approach start from analysis of the subject site - evaluating the physical characteristics of the property, including size, location, zoning, and topography, to determine its suitability for different uses. We then move on to financial analysis to gauge the financial performance of different uses, including estimated revenue, expenses, and profitability. Our Legal and Regulatory Analysis covers any legal or regulatory constraints that may affect the property, including zoning laws, environmental regulations, and historical preservation restrictions.

We have developed internal models that crunch tonnes of data so that the CRE RAW HBU produces the highest value for a property based on the concept of maximum productivity by determining the most optimum type of the property that can be developed and that would result in the highest market value of the property.

Predictive Analytics

How many housing units will your city sell in the next 2-5 years? What will the office rental be 4 years from now when your asset will be ready for leasing? What would be the demand for office spaces after 5 years in a particular micro-market? You are coming up with a new mall in Ludhiana in 4 years from now – what should be the Brand Mix basis the consumption patterns of consumers at that time? CRE Matrix RAW is the only team in India capable to use authentic data points and predict with the highest probability the trends that we are about to see. Our models have been back-tested with data and fine-tuned using the most sophisticated statistical methods.

Product Planning

You are coming up with a residential development on a land parcel. Can all the transactions over the last 5-10 years help you understand how many 2-BHKs you should build in order to maximize the business potential of the project? What sizes of 3-BHK are being sold the most? How is the best performing project configuring their product strategy? What floor plates are being built by the most successful commercial developers? What is the most popular size of office being taken up by occupiers in an area? How are the amenities you are planning in your project comparing with other benchmark projects in your region? RAW’s product planning models help developers optimize their product strategy, keeping in mind the constraints of their goals and objectives.

Financial Feasibility

Most financial analysis relies on hypothetical numbers which are based on past experience. CRE RAW augments the hypothetical numbers with actual financials of comparative benchmark assets and companies to costs associated with the development, including land acquisition, construction, marketing, and ongoing maintenance. We also analyse projecting potential revenue streams, including sales or leasing income, and analysing the return on investment.

Macro-market Research

Our team of RAW Research analysts are adept in studying the latest realty trends in India. We deploy a comprehensive approach that begins with demographics and ends with estimation of demand and supply for a service or a product in the region. If you are planning a co-living project or an in-city warehousing project in a locality, it is critical to understand the demand potential and the current gap in the market. We combine our transaction level research along with secondary and primary research to deliver cutting edge insights to stakeholders in the micro-market.

TEV Study

RAW TEV study measure market risk, regulatory risk and financial risk of a project. Techno Economic Viability (TEV) study of a project consists of evaluation of a project from a technical and financial standpoint, with relevant data about its technological feasibility and economic viability, into one or a few criteria on the basis of which the project is recommended for selection, modification or rejection.

Lenders use CRE RAW Techno-Economic Viability (TEV) Study to take decide the acceptability of the degree of risk involved in a project. We take into account technological risk, market risk, regulatory risk, financial risk, etc. to arrive at a risk score for the project under analysis.

Site Selection & Location Strategy

A developer with pan-India presence wanted to understand what are the top 10 locations to invest in to develop an affordable housing project. A developer from Bengaluru wanted to shortlist localities in North India to develop their next warehousing project. At CRE RAW, our analysts face these questions everyday and provide cutting edge analysis using a combination of sophisticated data-cantered models and qualitative analysis. We also deploy data sets beyond Real Estate to determine the impact of other factors in a region.

Strategic Planning for Growth

A large developer in Pune wanted to prepare a 5-year strategic plan with an aim to increase their market share from 5% to 12% in a prominent city of India.
