The three stages of the process of developing commercial real estate are site selection/deal-making, due diligence/research, and site investigation reports. When it comes to selecting a site and making deals, extensive research and analysis are needed. This is so that it can be determined if a particular site is ideal for its intended use.

There are certain requirements a site must meet in order to be used commercially. For example, the size and visibility of a property must be taken into consideration. Zoning restrictions and the surrounding infrastructure must be analyzed in order to make a decision about a particular site.

When it comes to due diligence and research, legal requirements are taken into consideration.

Site investigation involves addressing any setbacks in the areas of parking, landscaping, and the building itself. In addition, permits must be acquired and fire department requirements must be met.
