Our primary objectives are to assist our clients to maximise project value, optimise potential and minimise risk by assessing existing and future market opportunities, and recommending the types of developments that will take best advantage of current and emerging market characteristics.
Foresight Partners' services are founded on thorough market research, advanced analysis methodologies and decades of experience in the property and urban development industries.
We undertake objective, independent assessments of market opportunity and translate them into practical recommendations for business owners, developers, government bodies and their consultants.
Commercial/Retail
Foresight Partners has a wealth of both national and international experience in the commercial and retail development sector and is a market leader in conducting economic impact assessments for major shopping centre developments ranging from local centres to major centres such as Logan Hyperdome and Noosa Civic. In the commercial sphere, Foresight Partners undertakes impact assessments and needs analyses for proposed developments as well as feasibility studies for a range of office buildings and business parks.
Industrial
Foresight Partners regularly undertakes regional and local industrial land demand assessments for governments and the private sector. These assessments are used in planning scheme reviews as well as to support specific development applications for new industrial estates.
Residential
Foresight Partners undertakes a variety of consultancy work in the residential development market from national and State housing market overviews to local area land demand assessments for planning scheme reviews and needs analyses for specific residential developments. The work is underpinned by a comprehensive understanding of demographic trends and processes that affect general housing demand as well as demand for specific housing types. Our economic analyses also investigate price points in specific markets and sales volumes by product type.
Development Strategies
Foresight Partners has undertaken an array of assessments that provide real-world advice on improving retail/commercial centres. Our work spans retail precinct strategies for local governments and private developers; city centre retail business development strategies such as those for Parramatta and Brisbane CBD; and economic development strategies that are used in neighbourhood and local government planning of existing activity centres and future development areas.
Other Economic Studies
Foresight Partners also undertakes a range of custom economic analyses for public and private sector clients. These studies range from the economic impact of major sporting and recreational events such as The Ashes, State of Origin and music concerts, to specific economic investigations for atypical developments such as sports and recreation complexes, quarries and crematoriums.
