Site Selection and Project Development

Site selection and project development services for strategic decision-making on location, expansion, site selection, and cost-efficiency.

In an ever-changing business landscape, strategic selection of locations and sites is key. As companies realign global supply chains, reassess operational footprints, and explore innovative manufacturing processes, understanding the competitiveness of a current and future location becomes vital. It's not just about where you are now, but where you want to be. And the next step is determining whether your company is located in the right place.

Why reassess your operational footprint?
  • Rising labor and real estate costs
  • Increased pressure on the labor market
  • Logistics and supply chain complexities
What makes a location and site successful?
  • Industrial compatibility with a supportive business environment
  • Overall location attractiveness and potential for growth
  • Collaboration with community institutions for a workforce pipeline
  • A thriving ecosystem of other peer companies, and customers/suppliers
A successful site provides:
  • Minimal project risk
  • Construction-readiness
  • Strong utility capacity and infrastructure
  • Supportive development environment 

KPMG Site Selection and Project Development group

Our national site selection and location advisory practice provides expert advice and guidance to clients with location and site analysis, in-depth field evaluation, business incentives, and site cost analysis:

  • Location analysis: Comparative assessments of key location attributes and potential risk factors, including an in-depth labor market analysis.
  • Site selection: Planning, coordinating, and executing in-market fieldwork to further assess potential real estate options.
  • Business incentive assistance: Preparing business incentive feasibilities to understand the availability and value of potential benefits.
  • Financial and operational analysis: Conducting comparative cost analysis to evaluate candidate locations/sites and identify potential opportunities.
  • Final site selection and project stand-up initiation: Assisting with finalizing project agreements to ensure alignment with incentive offer letters, state, local, and utility commitments, and company obligations.
