US Industrial economic Valuation & feasibility
Independent Valuation • Site Selection • Industrial & Economic Feasibility
Alpha Consulting US (ACG) provides independent valuation, feasibility, and site selection advisory for Korean enterprises, institutions, and government-affiliated investment bodies entering the U.S. industrial and strategic FDI environment.
We apply a Total Project Value Framework that integrates:
- Industrial real estate (land, plant, logistics facilities)
- Machinery & equipment (M&E)
- Operations, labor, utilities, and logistics
- Incentives and regulatory structures
- Industrial economics and long-term feasibility
- Enterprise value and JV contribution
- Strategic & supply chain impact
Our work is designed for high-stakes U.S. manufacturing, logistics, energy, and advanced materials investments.
1. Industrial Real Estate Valuation
Independent valuation under USPAP, IVS, and IFRS 13 Fair Value, including:
- Manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics centers
- Greenfield/brownfield industrial land
- Facility expansion, redevelopment, build-to-suit
- Highest & Best Use (HBU) analysis
- Support for investment, financing, internal review, and financial reporting
Our valuation incorporates market dynamics, cost structures, replacement scenarios, and operational fit.
2. Site Selection & Location Feasibility
A multi-state, CCIM-grade site selection process using:
- STDB, ESRI, demographic & labor analytics
- Weighted decision matrices
- Industrial, logistical, regulatory, and cost-based criteria
Key factors include:
Labor availability • Wages • Union presence • Utilities • Infrastructure capacity • Logistics access • Tax environment • Zoning/permitting • Supply-chain proximity • Community support
We conduct remote and on-site due diligence and coordinate meetings with local governments, utilities, and economic development agencies.
3. Incentives Analysis & Negotiation Support
Strategic review of federal, state, and local incentives:
- Corporate income tax incentives
- Sales/use tax exemptions
- Property tax abatements
- Infrastructure support
- Workforce development assistance
- R&D tax credit considerations
We assess incentive structures, compliance requirements, and negotiation strategies
(legal/tax matters handled through external specialists where needed).
4. Industrial & Economic Feasibility Analysis
Comprehensive commercial and operational feasibility including:
- CAPEX/OPEX modeling
- Total Cost to Operate (TCO) analysis
- Demand trends and industrial market forecasts
- Process & operations economics
- IRR, DCF, and payback modeling
- Multi-scenario sensitivity analysis
Our feasibility approach supports long-term investment decisions with data-driven clarity.
5. Technical & Operational Due Diligence
We evaluate both asset-level and operational-level risks:
Market & Economic Review
Industrial demand/supply • Vacancy/absorption • Competitive benchmarking
Asset & Infrastructure Review
Building systems • Environmental issues • Electrical/HVAC • Roofing • Fire/life safety • Security • Site circulation
Regulatory & Development Review
Zoning • Entitlement • Permitting • Environmental constraints
Utility & Capacity Review
Power/gas/water availability • Expansion requirements • Logistics limitations
Our due diligence identifies constraints and opportunities early in the process.
6. Industrial & Site Economics Modeling
We model long-term operating economics by integrating:
- Labor curves
- Energy price trajectories
- Transportation & logistics cost structure
- Property tax forecasting
- Incentive-adjusted net costs
- Market risk indicators
- Competing regional cost profiles
This reveals true cost-of-operation differences across states and regions.
