Company Expertise

RSR

Ready-State Revitalization

Legacy commercial, industrial, and post-industrial properties are often located at prime transportation hubs, with access to ports, rail, and roads. These sites offer opportunities for adaptive re-use of buildings, infrastructure, and land, making them ideal for economic reinvention and new business growth.

However, unlocking their potential requires managing complex challenges such as decommissioning, environmental remediation, engineering, and aligning with political and community interests.

Ready-Stating is a strategic step that bridges the present and future, anticipating needs and laying the groundwork to minimize disruption and maximize adaptability.

Our Method

Partnership Development

By working to understand the broader cultural, political, and economic landscape inclusive of corporate and community interests we couple strategic fit, complementary strengths, and a shared vision to build strong mutually beneficial alliances.

This alignment of objectives has enabled BMI Group to form working relationships that span Municipal, Provincial, and Federal governments, Corporations, and First Nations at executive levels of engagement.

Capital Mobilization

Our capitalization approach is informed by comprehensive industry insights, enabling us to assess feasibility and viable returns on investment. Working with our core financing partner, Business EQ, a division of the Netherlands-based Samen Investeren, we employ financial modelling, forecasting, and valuation methods combined with risk management to mitigate challenges and maximize opportunities to ensure fluid end-to-end project financing.

This proficiency, paired with strategic partnership development, often brings together public and private funding to realize large-scale Adaptive Reuse and Industrial Infrastructure Repurposing projects.

Venture Development

Venture Development is a pivotal process that works in parallel with site development to identify and develop new economic opportunities for repurposed properties.

Strong partnerships and collaboration are vital in this process. By empowering local initiatives and connecting outside industries and businesses to site advantages, our projects become active, productive parts of the community that increase asset value.
