Concord Group

The Concord Group is a real estate advisory firm providing market and financial analytics, product programming and strategic advisory across residential and commercial asset types. Clients include developers and builders, investors, lenders, public agencies and service providers involved in planning, financing, development and operations.

Engagements range from single-site analyses to multi-asset portfolio valuations, and cover the full cycle: strategic market analysis, acquisition, planning, financing, development, operations and disposition. Every project is staffed with principals alongside senior consultants and research professionals, and the scope is set to the client's need rather than a fixed product. The firm also publishes its own research, including an apartment affordability study that ranked the largest 185 metropolitan statistical areas on median rent-to-income ratios, average mortgage-to-rent ratios and the share of earnings high-income households spend on rent.

Founded in 1995, the firm is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with offices in San Francisco, Atlanta, Austin, Portland and New York. It reports a team of over 40 people, work on over 700 residential and commercial engagements a year, and that 80% of its business each year comes from existing relationships. Its consultants have completed engagements in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Fees are not published and scope is agreed per engagement. The firm describes itself as a market and financial advisory practice rather than a construction cost consultancy, so a buyer seeking estimating or owner's representation should confirm scope before engaging.
