Pre-Construction and Development Advisory

Pre-Construction Advisory

Allocation access, contract review and closing discipline for buyers of new-development residences, from first release to final closing.

  • Allocations and Launches

    Access to developer allocations before public release, with pricing, incentive and deposit structures reviewed against resale comparables before a unit is reserved.

  • Assignments

    Acquisition and sale of pre-construction contracts, including developer consent, tax treatment with your accountant, and the closing obligations that transfer with the contract.

  • Closing and Appraisal Risk

    Deposit structures, occupancy and interim closing, appraisal gaps and financing conditions, modelled before commitment so that completion does not depend on market conditions at closing.

Pre-Construction and Development Advisory

Pre-construction is where access and diligence decide the outcome. Daniel Kim & Associates advises buyers and investors on new-development allocations, assignments and developer negotiation, and advises investors and development partners on land acquisition and the development process across the Greater Toronto Area. This is not speculative land banking. Every engagement is grounded in municipal planning reality, highest-and-best-use analysis and a clear assessment of entitlement and completion risk. The objective is to identify sites and projects where zoning, location and market fundamentals converge to support durable, long-term value.

  • Site Selection & Zoning Analysis

    We evaluate sites against current zoning permissions, Official Plan designations and secondary plan frameworks to identify properties with clear development potential. Each assessment includes a review of as-of-right permissions, minor variance opportunities and rezoning feasibility.

  • Highest-and-Best-Use Evaluation

    Before any acquisition, we assess whether the proposed use represents the optimal return on the site's inherent value. This analysis weighs density potential, unit mix economics, market absorption rates and competitive supply to determine the use that maximizes long-term value.

  • Land Assemblies & Off-Market Sourcing

    Many of the GTA's highest-quality development sites never reach the open market. We use established relationships with landowners, estate trustees and institutional holders to source off-market opportunities and coordinate multi-parcel assemblies where scale creates value.

  • Pre-Development Feasibility

    We prepare preliminary feasibility assessments that model construction costs, soft costs, financing structures and projected revenues. These analyses give investors a clear picture of project economics before committing capital to due diligence or entitlement applications.

  • Municipal Planning Coordination

    We work directly with municipal planning departments, urban planners and land use counsel to advance entitlement applications, including pre-consultation meetings, Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment submissions, and Committee of Adjustment hearings.

  • Professional Team Assembly

    We coordinate the assembly of a complete development team, including architects, planners, environmental consultants, civil engineers and legal counsel, ensuring each professional is aligned with project objectives and timeline.

Full Lifecycle Advisory

From raw land through to project delivery, we provide end-to-end advisory across the full development lifecycle. The development process is nonlinear, capital-intensive and unforgiving of missteps. Our role is to ensure that each phase is executed with precision, that risks are identified early, and that the capital structure remains aligned with project milestones.

  • Entitlement & Approvals

    We manage the entitlement process from initial application through to final approval, including site plan agreements, development permit conditions and any required appeals. The objective is to secure the most permissive approvals possible while maintaining a realistic timeline.

  • Construction Financing

    We connect developers with institutional lenders and arrange construction financing packages that align with project cash flow, including draw schedules, cost consultant requirements and completion guarantee structures.

  • Project Timeline Management

    We maintain a disciplined project timeline that tracks every critical milestone, from soil testing and demolition permits through to occupancy and final inspection. Delays compound in development, and our role is to anticipate and prevent them.

  • Stakeholder Coordination

    Development projects involve dozens of stakeholders: investors, lenders, contractors, consultants and municipal bodies. We serve as the central coordination point, ensuring that communication is clear, decisions are documented and all parties are aligned on project objectives.

  • Risk Identification & Mitigation

    We identify project-level risks early, including environmental liabilities, heritage designations, community opposition and construction cost escalation, and develop mitigation strategies that protect the project's economics and timeline.

  • Exit Strategy

    Whether the end goal is a condo pre-sale program, a purpose-built rental hold or a portfolio disposition, we advise on exit timing, marketing strategy and capital recycling to ensure the project delivers on its original investment thesis.
