Due Diligence

EV charging infrastructure supports sustainability goals but introduces new environmental compliance risks for commercial properties. From fire and contamination exposure to permitting, liability, and long-term maintenance, property owners must integrate EV chargers into their broader environmental and asset-management strategy to protect value and reduce risk.

Environmental compliance in real estate plays a critical role in financing and underwriting. By integrating environmental due diligence, ESAs, regulatory review, and post-closing monitoring into underwriting workflows, lenders and investors can reduce risk, protect collateral value, and support informed credit decisions.

Environmental compliance is a critical component of successful commercial real estate acquisitions. A structured checklist—covering Phase I and Phase II ESAs, regulatory compliance, hazardous materials, and post-closing monitoring—helps buyers identify hidden risks, manage liability, and protect long-term property value.

Facility Condition Assessments frequently uncover the same high-impact challenges: deferred maintenance, aging MEP systems, envelope deterioration, neglected site infrastructure, and incomplete asset documentation. Identifying these issues early allows owners and managers to prioritize repairs, control capital spending, and extend asset life through informed planning.
