From Raw Land to Shovel-Ready

Vision to Entitlement.

Silverado brings principal-led experience to commercial real estate site selection and entitlement. Our leadership’s experience spans over five decades, multiple markets, and complex assignments for institutional capital and corporate occupiers. Principals remain engaged from initial site evaluation through close.
Our integrated approach connects site selection, pre-development due diligence, master planning, entitlement, capital structuring, and horizontal development within a single development strategy. One platform. Clear accountability.

What We Do On The Front End

Commercial real estate site selection and entitlement,
one connected discipline.

Site Selection and
Land Acquisition

We source sites through five decades of relationships. Submarket modeling and build-to-suit site selection.

Master Planning and
Conceptual Design

We program to the occupier spec, engineer the site, and prove the pro forma before the shovel hits dirt.

Entitlement and
Governmental Process

We carry projects through zoning, planning commission, and city council. We write the development agreement, point by point.

05 / Capital

Capital
Structuring

We structure the capital stack to the deal. Senior, mezzanine, equity. Joint ventures, build-to-suit, sale-leaseback.

06 / Shovel-Ready

Horizontal Development and Shovel-Ready Position

We grade, install infrastructure, secure permits, and select the contractor. Shovel-ready commercial real estate.

The Operating Model

Six disciplined phases. One chain of authority.

Silverado runs the front end as one platform under principal-level authority. Site selection, due diligence, master planning, entitlement, capital structuring, and shovel-ready position move on a single timeline, coordinated by the principals whose names sit on the deal. The specialty disciplines that govern the entitlement timeline are anchored through long-standing alliances and orchestrated from inside the platform, not handed off to five firms working on five clocks. Timelines compress because the chain of authority does not break. The principals are at the table from the first site visit forward. One platform. One accountability. One phone call.
