Strategic Development Management Services
Development Management
At the core of its services, MLE specializes in coordinating and managing the design, development approvals, and permitting processes on behalf of owners, developers, and end-users. MLE’s day-to-day focus is ensuring that every task required for design and approvals is handled efficiently and effectively, that tasks run concurrently whenever possible, and that the overall development package remains consistent and cohesive as it moves through the approval and permitting process.
Without a dedicated professional driving the development approval process and maintaining daily oversight, critical schedule and cost items can easily slip through the cracks. Tasks and action items may sit unattended for extended periods, and inconsistencies within the project package can create downstream issues—often forcing the team to scramble for solutions later.
MLE actively manages the land entitlement and permitting process to ensure projects are delivered to contractors accurately, efficiently, and fully prepared for construction.
Land Acquisition Due Diligence
The success of a development project depends largely on the quality of due diligence performed at the outset. Understanding a property’s true development potential—and the regulations or underlying issues that may constrain it—is critical before moving forward.
MLE takes pride in its ability to conduct thorough, detailed research on behalf of its clients. For both vacant and developed properties, our investigative efforts include evaluating maximum development potential; land use and zoning conditions; utility availability; drainage requirements; environmental considerations; traffic concurrency issues; required approvals and permits; development approval processes; and other factors that may impact feasibility and value.
MLE’s preliminary due diligence scope also includes the preparation of conceptual site plans, development approval schedules, and analyses of anticipated soft development costs—providing clients with a clear, informed foundation for acquisition and project planning.
Zoning Entitlements
As an AICP-certified planner with extensive experience handling land use and zoning applications across most municipalities in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, MLE delivers efficient, highly effective zoning entitlements and site plan approvals.
MLE’s background in the public sector—combined with years of successfully navigating complex development approvals in the private sector—has established a strong foundation for providing reliable, results-driven entitlement services. This experience makes MLE a proven, efficient, and effective choice for developers, property owners, and end users seeking development entitlement approvals.
Permit Management
As part of its Development Management services, MLE is recognized as an expert in overseeing and managing the building permit process for complex, multi-building development projects, with a particular specialization in the City of West Palm Beach, but with deep experience in other municipalities.
MLE serves as the central point of contact and liaison between the project team and local government agencies, leveraging established relationships and deep procedural knowledge to facilitate a permitting process that is as smooth and efficient as possible.
In this role, MLE establishes the permitting strategy, coordinates accurate permit packages, manages permit submittals/resubmittals, coordinates resolution of review comments and provides document control to ensure accuracy and effective record management throughout review, construction, and project closeout.
Site and Landscape Design
MLE through its collaborative partners provides its clients with conceptual and final site plan and landscape plan design for development projects as needed for development approvals, permitting and construction.
