OPERATIONAL CONSULTING
How a building operates after it is built is key to maximizing an owner's investment. Due to Baker Young’s strong background in construction, many owners have asked that they become involved in the schematic and design development stage of new projects as Operational Consultants. In this capacity, Baker Young reviews design drawings on a periodic basis and provides the owner's representative with input reflecting potential operating cost savings. As a result of this approach, building teams focus on saving money on an ongoing basis, not just during the period of design and construction. Baker Young also works with clients on the renovation and upgrade of older properties to reduce operating costs. The principals of Baker Young are knowledgeable concerning ways to save money by reducing electrical demand, improving the effectiveness of HVAC systems, and instituting preventative maintenance procedures. Baker Young can help you design or renovate your facility to operate at maximum efficiency and thereby increase your long-term return on investment.
FINANCIAL CONSULTING
Financial Consulting is another area of Baker Young’s expertise. Many times, the linchpin that determines whether a commercial realty project can proceed is financing. Baker Young Corporation, working with partners, has structured more than $200 million in financing through sale/leasebacks, 501C-3 and leverage mortgages. On numerous occasions, Baker Young has secured private financing for real estate projects without requiring any equity from clients. Baker Young has been successful in closing transactions due to their contacts in the financial marketplace and technical and financial supervision of due diligence activities. During due diligence, Baker Young provides oversight and review of environmental considerations, property evaluation, credit analysis, and underwriting. The firm’s financial consulting services enables them to bring many projects to fruition that other real estate firms cannot even consider, another reason to form a strategic partnership with Baker Young Corporation.
