A market study addresses defined market questions for a specific project — supply, demand, competition, and positioning — and is more structured than general market research. It is a consulting analysis focused on the market's capacity to support a project, not a point-in-time value.
What the service involves
The assignment defines and analyzes the market for a specific project: the relevant market area and segment, current and planned supply, demand from the target user base, the competitive set, and the project's likely positioning. The conclusion addresses whether and how the market can support the project under stated assumptions. The deliverable is a written study documenting the market definition, data, analysis, and conclusions.
When clients need this service
Developers, owners, lenders, and investors use market studies to test whether a project is supportable before committing capital or financing. For example, a developer considering a new multifamily project may want a study of supply, demand, and competition for that submarket. For broader evidence-gathering without the structured project focus, market research may be more appropriate.
What the analysis considers
The analysis considers the defined market area and segment, current and planned competing supply, historical absorption, the target user base and demand drivers, capture-rate assumptions, and the project's positioning relative to competitors. The conclusion depends on the market definition and assumptions; a market study does not guarantee a project's success or financing.
Documents and information that may help
Not every item below is mandatory for every assignment. The records that matter depend on the property and the agreed scope; we will confirm what is needed during the initial discussion.
- The project description and program
- The market area and target segment
- Information on competing supply
- Demand and demographic data, if available
- Assumptions about positioning and capture
How the engagement works
We begin by defining the project and the market questions to confirm scope. After agreeing on scope, we research supply, demand, and competition, analyze the project's positioning, and develop supported conclusions. We deliver a written study documenting the market definition, data, analysis, and conclusions, with scope, fees, and timing depending on the project and market complexity.
