Site Selection Services

Location. Location. Strategic location.

Looking to land, expand or relocate? Let’s find the site that sets you up for long-term success.

Where you choose to operate affects your workforce, supply chain, tax burden, and long-term growth potential. Yet too often, companies make location decisions based on what’s available, not what’s optimal for their business.

We take a different, data-driven approach. We don’t push properties—we analyze markets, identify operational advantages, and negotiate incentives to ensure your location is an asset, not a liability.

Why Site Selection Matters More Than You Think

When choosing a location, do you need a salesperson or a strategic advisor? Traditional advisors work start with real estate; we focus on your business. Our data-driven approach ensures your site selection aligns with your long-term goals and maximizes cost efficiency.

Your site impacts everything:

  • Labor costs and availability

    Will you find the right talent at the right cost?

  • Supply chain and logistics

    Are you strategically positioned near key partners?

  • Utility infrastructure and costs

    Can the site support your long-term needs at a reasonable cost?

  • Regulatory and tax environment

    How will local policies affect your operations?

  • Financial incentives

    Are you maximizing available tax credits, grants, and other incentives?

Find the Right Site for Your Business

A site that looks great today may cost you millions in hidden expenses tomorrow. That’s why we take a data-driven, financial-first approach to selecting locations—not just finding properties.

Traditional Approach
  • Focused on available properties
  • Limited to specific regions
  • Commission-based
  • Property-centric
  • Short-term transaction focus
Five Points Strategic Advisors Approach
  • Focused on long-term business success
  • National market analysis
  • Objective, fee-based advisory
  • Workforce, utilities, supply chain, and incentives considered
  • Long-term operational and financial impact

Your business is more than the land it sits on.
Let’s make sure your location drives efficiency, cost savings, and strategic growth.

Four-Phase Site Selection Process

A step-by-step approach to making a confident, data-driven decision.

Phase 1
Aligning Strategy and Expectations

Project Identification

Before we evaluate sites, we evaluate your business needs. We conduct:

  • Stakeholder engagement to align project priorities
  • Critical success factor analysis (labor, logistics, cost structure)
  • Future growth planning to ensure scalability
  • Defined decision criteria to simplify the selection process

Outcome: A clear blueprint for what makes a site a long-term fit; timelines established.

Phase 2
Choosing High-Potential Locations

Market Identification

We start with data, not listings. Our national analysis includes:

  • Labor market deep dives – Availability, cost, and workforce pipeline
  • Utility infrastructure and cost assessments – Water, power, broadband capacity
  • Supply chain modeling – Proximity to vendors, customers, and logistics hubs
  • Regulatory and tax climate evaluation – Understanding risks and benefits
  • Preliminary incentives screening – Identifying high-value opportunities

Outcome: A shortlist of 5-10 top markets – or MSAs (metropolitan statistical areas) to pursue.

Phase 3
Finding the Best Fit

Site Identification

Once we’ve identified the right markets, we conduct an in-depth site selection process:

  • Request for Information (RFI) – Source viable properties
  • Environmental and zoning assessments – Identify potential risks and ensuring compliance with local regulations
  • Infrastructure capacity verification – Ensure utilities and transportation access can support current and future needs
  • Community and workforce evaluation – Understand long-term talent sustainability and quality of life factors
  • Initial incentive negotiation – Establish early-stage offers and understanding potential financial benefits

Outcome: A final shortlist of 1-3 sites, ranked based on strategic fit, in multiple MSAs.

Phase 4
Securing the Best Deal

Incentives Negotiation

Once the ideal site is identified, we move into final negotiations to maximize value:

  • Incentives package optimization – Ensure all available benefits are secured at local, state and federal levels
  • Site due diligence management – Avoid costly surprises through environmental, legal and financial assessments
  • Final negotiations with municipalities and developers – Lock in favorable terms
  • Comprehensive financial modeling – Make the best business decision

Outcome: Incentive contract(s) signed; project announcement press release.
