Site Selection
Our team has a track record of finding or creating the perfect location for every business we work with. We ensure our development projects are in prime locations or on growth and development paths.
Our entrepreneurial spirit is a key pillar to building our expansive network, thinking creatively, and creating successful opportunities that become iconic.
Acquisitions
Acquisition activity ranges from land for ground-up development to historic buildings needing redevelopment and everything in between. Elia’s masterful acquisitions leaders handle the whole process, including deal negotiation, financing, incentives, legal, and due diligence. We have successfully driven very complex transactions with existing and new alternative funding and tax incentive structures.
Design
The design and programming of our spaces and projects inherently differentiates Elia Group from industry peers. Our team conducts exhaustive design and detailed selection processes to ensure that we create the precise environment we envision. We partner with top architecture firms worldwide to create unforgettable environments and experiences, resulting in award-winning restaurants and locations.
Development
We directly oversee all facets of the development process, from acquisition through stabilization, including some of Detroit’s largest and most notable projects. Our managed projects have ranged from ground-up standalone retail development to large downtown multifamily and office redevelopment opportunities.
Our team is adeptly skilled at managing through the full development life cycle from engineering, design, tenant approvals, permitting, financing, construction, and obtaining local-, state-, and federal- level incentives.
Construction
We provide in-house construction management and owner’s rep services for our ground-up, redevelopment, and tenant buildout projects.
We manage the whole construction process and management of third-party general contractors from inception to closeout.
Management
Our management services include property management, asset management, business operations, and project management. With a proactive approach, our in-house management service optimizes operations and profitability. We understand that executing a disciplined business plan is essential to investment performance. The size of our organization allows us to be nimble and act quickly to resolve issues or make changes, thus allowing assets to operate more efficiently and effectively.
Leasing
We provide commercial and retail leasing services to the properties in our portfolio and other partnerships. We create long-term relationships with our tenants, supporting their individual needs for real estate as their businesses grow and evolve. Over the years, we have developed strategic relationships with some of the largest tenants in the world, as well as many local restaurants and small shop concepts.
When appropriate, we also partner with leading brokerage firms for leasing and sale services to ensure we cast the most extensive available net for prospects and ideas.
