Acquisition & Development AdvisoryWe price property on what it can become.
Every parcel carries two values: the one on the listing, and the one hidden in its zoning. Van + Partners underwrites land the way a developer does, because that is what we are. From a single lot with ADU and SB9 potential to commercial repositioning, we find the value the market has not priced, then design, permit, and build it.
What we do?
Highest & Best Use Analysis
Zoning research, development standards, FAR and coverage studies, and state housing law strategy including ADU, JADU, and SB9 lot splits. We tell you what a site can legally hold before you write the offer.
Feasibility & Pro Forma
Construction-cost-based feasibility studies, rental and for-sale pro formas, and residual land value analysis grounded in our own build costs, not consultant estimates.
Offer Strategy & Underwriting
Net-proceeds analysis, seller-side settlement modeling, and negotiation support that reflects true development economics. We structure offers that win without overpaying.
Entitlement & Permitting
Preliminary site plans, planning department coordination, and ministerial approval strategy across Los Angeles and Orange County jurisdictions.
The Developer’s Edge
Most acquisition advice ends at the comp set. Ours begins there. Because our team spans architecture, urban planning, and licensed general contracting, our feasibility numbers are the same numbers we build to.
When we tell you a lot supports six units at a given cost, that figure comes from our own subcontractor pricing and our own permits, walked through the same counters where we will process yours.
