The Work.

An $800 million redevelopment blueprint. A thirty-year tax increment program built from community meetings, with 17th Avenue reimagined as a Main Street.

A Placer.ai study of who visits Downtown Hollywood, where they come from, and how long they stay. It counted 2.9 million annual visits from 866,000 unique visitors at a 142-minute average dwell, giving the CRA hard evidence for its downtown strategy.

A citywide economic conditions analysis for the City of Miami Beach Economic Development Department, reading the city as three distinct sub-economies, South Beach, Middle Beach, and North Beach, across population, labor, real estate, and the tourism economy. It synthesizes federal, state, county, and city data into one benchmarked baseline, comparing Miami Beach against the county, state, and nation on employment, income, real estate, and tax collections for economic-development planning.

BusinessFlare documented existing conditions, proved continuing blight, and charted an update to extend the life of Fort Lauderdale's 1,412-acre Northwest Progresso-Flagler Heights CRA. The 2025 finding of necessity, prepared under Chapter 163 and tested against the statute's 15 criteria, showed at least ten still active where Florida requires only two, backed by ESRI, CoStar, and MLS analysis and P.I.E.C.E. outreach in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.

A site-by-site development strategy that turned the Hiram Clarke / Fort Bend Redevelopment Authority's 2021-2022 work program into four ranked, ready-to-market opportunity sites across City of Houston Reinvestment Zone No. 25. It inventoried available land, mapped land use across the zone's southwest-Houston footprint, and profiled each site along the S. Main / US-90A and W. Fuqua corridors with a walking-radius market summary and options the board could carry to landowners, developers, and funders.

BusinessFlare serves as the North Miami CRA's redevelopment advisor, the through-line connecting planning, finance, engagement, and deal-making across an aging district that covers roughly 60% of the city. Across a multi-year partnership it has rewritten the community Redevelopment Plan, structured the finances behind it, and shepherded a portfolio of catalyst projects from downtown to NW 7th Avenue, keeping the program moving toward the CRA's 2044 sunset.

A corridor strategy against a 2034 sunset clock, anchored by the one constraint that changes every decision: how much time is left.

A corridor-by-corridor economic development assessment of Hollywood's four commercial spines, pairing CoStar market data, Placer.ai foot traffic, and a void analysis into a targeted playbook for investment, branding, and placemaking. It runs north to south, from the Publix and ArtsPark downtown anchor to a boutique-hotel and maker district, recommending a branded creative district, a linear park along the FEC line, and a strategy to capture casino traffic.

The statutory case for redevelopment in North Beach, a Chapter 163 blight determination built on field survey, market data, and public records that documented 9 of the 15 conditions Florida law recognizes, where only two are required. Three connected workstreams, the finding of necessity, an economic-data update, and an environmental scan, drew on ESRI demographics, CoStar and LoopNet listings, and five years of Miami-Dade tax rolls to establish high vacancy, fragmented small-lot ownership, and lagging assessed values.

An economic development incentive toolkit. A working menu the county uses to grow and keep business, refreshed every year.

The evidence base for renewing Hallandale Beach's federal Opportunity Zone designation, built around Census Tract 1003.02, the city's only remaining eligible tract along the US-1 South Federal Highway corridor through downtown. Four workstreams map the tract's Treasury-recognized boundaries and frame a rigorous, defensible renewal case around a single, concentrated, high-impact zone.

A data-driven read on what the market can actually support at the Village in the Park / Heron Bay site, and which destination concepts fit best. It moved from a broad market read around the Sawgrass Expressway and University Drive to a focused capacity assessment, filtering dozens of theoretically viable uses down to the concepts that fit the site's access, exposure, and context, then testing specific users against demographic fit and cannibalization.

A five-driver market analysis of the 3.75-mile US-1 corridor that reframed an affluent, built-out village as a redevelopment opportunity. With supply essentially frozen and 96.3% of the tax base residential, it makes the case that growth can only come from intensifying US-1 into a walkable town center.

A 2024 Economic Development Strategic Plan for The Village of Parks: market analysis, stakeholder engagement, seven strategies, and two parcel-specific 3D redevelopment concepts. It refocuses an affluent, built-out village on the walkable commercial third places it lacks, a Franjo Road downtown and a Little Village node along US-1.

A walkable, mixed-use Town Center for the 2nd Avenue N corridor, the South Village that residents currently leave town to find. We delivered the market and feasibility analysis, the rendered vision, five site-by-site development programs, and an Invest Palm Springs package built to attract developers.

A five-year Economic Development Strategic Plan positioning a 1.6-square-mile, land-locked Broward town as a business-friendly industrial and logistics cluster, grounded in market data and built for realistic implementation. It prioritizes the clusters that already define Pembroke Park, logistics and distribution, the food and beverage supply chain, design firms, and specialty automotive, and calls for deliberate branding since many local businesses market themselves under neighboring city names.

An updated, Chapter 163-compliant Redevelopment Plan for a fast-growing, family-oriented community in South Miami-Dade, carried through the County's TIFC and Commission approval. It pairs market and existing-conditions analysis with a TIF strategy and an exit analysis, mapping the path from a young, underserved market to redevelopment.

A statutory Finding of Necessity supporting a roughly 183.5-acre boundary expansion of Miami-Dade County's West Perrine CRA, documenting slum and blight conditions under Chapter 163 to unlock redevelopment. It pairs field evidence with a socioeconomic profile and public-safety data to build the case for extending the district.

Three connected workstreams charting the revival of historic Kelsey City: a Chapter 163 CRA Master Plan, a transit-oriented train-station feasibility study, and a data-driven downtown foot-traffic and marketing analysis. The Town-owned station site alone was modeled across four scenarios, from a low-scale food hall to mixed-use up to 16 stories and 264 units.

A full CRA stood up end to end for DeSoto County's historic county seat: economic assessment, Finding of Necessity, and an adopted Redevelopment Plan with catalytic projects and a TIF funding strategy. We documented all five statutory blight conditions across an 812-acre core and carried it to adoption in late 2024.

A market-grounded look at Downtown Miami Shores and the Village-owned site at 9900 NE 2nd Avenue, testing what the district can support and five ways to redevelop the property. Foot-traffic data counted 276,000 visitors over 12 months at 5.5 visits each, roughly 1.5 million customer visits, against older stock and rents that lag the surrounding market despite strong demographics.

A fiscal and economic feasibility study of annexing a 1.6-square-mile industrial employment center beside Miami International Airport, quantifying the tax base, revenues, and service costs behind the Village's expansion. Built on parcel-level Property Appraiser data, it models ad valorem revenue at the Village's 4.9-mill rate against the cost of service, where the main new obligation is police coverage and select road maintenance.

A dual-track engagement for the Glades city on Lake Okeechobee, a full economic development assessment paired with a hotel feasibility study to guide catalytic investment. It profiles the local economy across land use, labor, demographics, foot traffic, and industry under a PIECE framework, and tests demand for a new branded hotel serving Belle Glade, Pahokee, South Bay, and Clewiston, giving the City and its CRA a fact-based foundation for retail, housing, and hospitality investment.

A market read on Stuart's aging industrial stock, where demand outruns supply and the best redevelopment opportunities actually sit. The city holds about 1.1 million square feet across 85 buildings, roughly a quarter of Martin County's industrial space, much of it built from the 1970s through the 1990s, with vacancy under 5% and flat absorption driven not by weak demand but by a lack of available space.

Three catalytic concept designs to reconnect a working-waterfront fishing village to its downtown, its creek, and its marina. Aligned with the Martin County Innovation Hub vision, they weave complete-streets principles, pedestrian and cyclist comfort, and environmental sensitivity into a cohesive design that supports downtown vibrancy while respecting the character of the place.

A data-driven economic assessment, placemaking vision, and phased streetscape design to turn Palmetto's historic 10th Avenue Main Street into a place people want to stay. It diagnoses the district through ESRI, CoStar, and Placer.ai data, maps where customers come from, and runs a void analysis to surface the business types the market wants but is missing, framed around the P.I.E.C.E. approach.

When FDOT announced a 19-month closure of one of the two bridges linking Tequesta to everywhere south, BusinessFlare used Placer.ai foot-traffic data to pinpoint which businesses, jobs, and categories were most at risk and where new opportunity would open. The study measured the district before the closure and tracked it after, turning a looming disruption into a published case study.

A subdistrict implementation strategy that turns the Barton Boulevard and Florida Avenue CRA into a real downtown, anchored by a reimagined Lake Betsy waterfront and a phased use of city-owned land. It converts market analysis into a staged playbook, down to a signature waterfront restaurant with rooftop rocket-launch views.

A market analysis and redevelopment plan for two CRA subdistricts on Florida's Space Coast, turning city-owned land and an underused waterfront into a downtown of four distinct districts. It leverages one of the nation's fastest-growing job markets, driven by the aerospace boom, with a craft-brewery-anchored waterfront activation.

A staff-actionable marketing and positioning strategy for the Covington Central Riverfront, the 23-acre former IRS site the City now controls as master developer. It equips Covington to sell the only publicly controlled downtown riverfront site of its kind in the country, and to recruit developers the way a sophisticated private master developer would.

A talent-era economic development strategy for a nationally ranked micropolitan economy, moving Wooster from transactional deal-making toward placemaking and talent attraction. Built on the six-driver framework and hard market data, it organizes the next phase of growth around seven sequenced goals and five opportunity-site zones.

A place-based, five-year roadmap to reposition Carbondale as the regional center of Southern Illinois, delivered in partnership with the State through the RISE grants program. It reframes economic development away from home-run deal-chasing toward quality of place, built on downtown, the SIU and hospital anchors, and a growing tourism economy.

An economic recovery strategy for the oldest town in Jones County, rebuilding a three-block downtown that Hurricane Florence put underwater in 2018. Built on the Main Street Four-Point Approach, it makes the Trent River the economic engine, phases facade and streetscape work a small-budget town can fund, grounds business recruitment in ESRI trade-area data (about $9.6M in one-mile retail leakage), and stands up Trent Bridge Development Corporation as the local lead so recovery outlasts any single grant.

A field-based economic development read on a historic Hill Country town on Highway 29, positioned to capture Austin-corridor growth without losing its identity. It sharpens the downtown and railway public realm, targets fit-for-town recruitment (a craft brewery, outfitter, hunting lodge, and makers market), assesses real estate and site readiness, and aligns the City's existing grant programs and a pending CDBG application behind a Preserve, Enhance, Expose, Invest, Capitalize positioning.

Two engagements on the Bahia Mar redevelopment, capped by a 2023 restructure analysis with BusinessFlare as prime consultant, quantifying the ground-lease value that anchored the negotiation with the City of Fort Lauderdale. The program reimagines an underused waterfront as a luxury resort, residential, and marina destination, a $914 million build modeled at $980 million in economic impact for the city and $1.4 billion for Broward County. Prepared for Tate Capital.

An independent economic and fiscal impact study supporting Terra's redevelopment of the historic Deauville Beach Resort at 6701 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach's North Beach, a MiMo landmark that closed after a 2017 fire. Using an Emsi Type II input-output model, it quantifies the jobs, earnings, GDP, and public revenue behind a new resort hotel, two condominium towers adding 148 units, and retail and public space designed to re-anchor North Beach. Prepared for Terra.

Independent economic and fiscal impact analysis for Prologis, the global leader in logistics real estate, across three of Florida's busiest distribution markets: Doral, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando. Each assessment separates one-time construction from recurring operations and traces direct, indirect, and induced effects through input-output methodology, giving Prologis and local governments a defensible read on the jobs, output, and public revenue that logistics investment delivers.

An independent economic and fiscal benefits assessment of the proposed public-private redevelopment of Boca Raton's downtown government campus, a program that advanced to a 2025 referendum where voters rejected it. It weighed more than 1.3 million square feet anchored by a new City Hall near the Brightline station, separating one-time construction stimulus from the new taxable base a city-owned, tax-exempt site would create. Prepared for Terra.

An independent economic and fiscal impact analysis of the Silver Sands redevelopment at 301 Ocean Drive, quantifying what the project returns to the Village of Key Biscayne in tax revenue, jobs, and output. It set a condominium option against a hotel option, the condo delivering the larger direct fiscal benefit and the hotel the larger recurring footprint plus added tourist tax, grounded in Ritz-Carlton visitor-origin data as a proxy for the island's affluent base. Prepared for Terra.

An economic and fiscal impact assessment of the redevelopment of Fort Lauderdale's International Swimming Hall of Fame, quantifying the construction lift, the recurring operations footprint, and the property and sales tax it returns to the community. Over roughly 30 months of delivery the model shows about $1.80 in local activity for every $1.00 of direct construction outlay, settling afterward into a repeatable, hospitality-rich employment base.

A feasibility test of a new convention and events center anchored to Indian River State College, gauging whether it can serve the college's mission and stand on its own as a regional venue for St. Lucie County. Working alongside national general contractor Hensel Phelps, BusinessFlare scoped the facility, tested its economic and financial footing, and framed its regional economic impact. Prepared for Capital Group.

An economic and fiscal impact analysis of a proven Miami Beach operator's roughly $50 million vertical expansion on City-owned land at 1691 Michigan Avenue, quantifying the jobs, output, and public revenue it returns to the City that owns the ground. The amendment would authorize about 42,000 square feet of new Class A office plus a 6,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant built above the existing parking structure, with no additional land required, after capital improvements already lifted the building past 1,200 daily visitors. Prepared for Rivani.

An economic and fiscal impact analysis making the case for a 7.3-million-square-foot mixed-use waterfront destination on the JFK Causeway, and quantifying what it returns to North Bay Village. Benchmarking found tight vacancy, market-leading rents, and sub-5% cap rates with little room to grow, while Placer.ai data showed local spending leaking out for lack of shops and restaurants, the demand the project is designed to recapture.

An economic and fiscal impact analysis of a new fixed-base operation at Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport, quantifying what a global aviation leader's Phase 1 campus means for Miami-Dade jobs, earnings, and public revenue. Hard and soft construction costs run through an input-output model, with additional hangars projected once the first phase is complete.

A roughly 70-acre, $650 million mixed-use community on Stribling Way, with homes, retail, a 150-key hotel, and a PK-12 private school, measured for the jobs, output, and tax base it delivers to the Village of Wellington. The analysis models construction and recurring impacts with Type II multipliers, projecting taxable value near $495 million by 2029, far above what the land would yield staying agricultural, where 50 years of Village taxes would total only about $33,000. Prepared for Related Ross.

A market study, phased masterplan, and public-financing strategy that reimagines South Dade's beloved farmers and flea market as a transit-oriented downtown, asking for zero up-front grant dollars. Working with Dover, Kohl & Partners and Locus Architecture, it keeps the market operating while adding a pedestrian Main Street, structured parking, and mixed-use blocks anchored to Bus Rapid Transit and the 244th Street Mobility Hub, tested against a trade area of 7.1 million people within a 90-minute drive.

An economic-impact and community-benefit narrative for the revitalization of a waterfront marina district on Lake Park's Intracoastal, reframing a public-private partnership as a story of jobs, access, and lasting local value. Rather than lead with deal mechanics, it frames the opportunity through preserved public water access, new jobs, visitor spending, and a revitalized destination that gives the town a front door on the water.

An independent, data-driven economic rebuttal of the City's third-party report on the proposed 1250 West Avenue development and the Alton Beach Bayfront Overlay density and height bonuses, submitted to the City of Miami Beach Planning Department to support informed public review. By evaluating the full project economics with and without the requested bonuses, it corrected an inflated valuation and pegged the true net benefit attributable to the bonuses at roughly $58 million.
