Site Development Services

We design infrastructure to meet your full buildout development needs, and we keep an eye on efficiency and value engineering so that your project matches your vision. Our team combines their skills and knowledge in sustainable site design, planning, low-impact development, natural systems, and infrastructure to develop cost-effective and creative designs for urban and rural environments. We also make the most of your resources by leveraging existing infrastructure as an asset.

Our land development process helps our clients anticipate and overcome development road bumps. We facilitate complex permitting processes, including SEPA and NEPA, that typically involve working with multiple agencies with a myriad of requirements. By addressing specific site considerations, we help you move past permitting and into implementation.

MFA assists clients in developing master plans that establish the best use of available land. Understanding the relationships between regulation, the economic market, physical site characteristics, and development feasibility enables us to fashion strategies and solutions to achieve that vision. 

Understanding the environmental justice history and context of your site is due diligence that helps your project respond to regulatory and community concerns. Regulatory requirements, such as for permit applications or funding programs, require applicants to analyze their project’s potential environmental, social, and economic effects. They can also guide community engagement, site design, or operational considerations. MFA’s environmental justice assessments have guided community engagement, site design, or operational considerations for both straightforward and complex sites.

Don't let wetland and habitat features be a hurdle to your development. We minimize project issues by assessing your site and incorporating these features into your development.

We review water availability for your site to help bring your projects to fruition. We investigate available municipal water supplies, evaluate critical aquifer levels, and research water rights to give you comprehensive information about your water choices.

Our site selection and analysis tools find and compare properties that meet your criteria. Our custom web-based mapping program is a client favorite because it enables users to conduct their own searches using custom layers and queries based on the project objectives. If preferred, we can deliver custom search results weekly. Once properties for your development are identified, MFA can assist further with due diligence or engineering development cost estimates to help inform your business decisions and start your development off on the right track. 

We provide construction stormwater design and permitting from start to finish, helping your project minimize cost while protecting the environment. From erosion and sediment control plans to field monitoring and inspection, we understand the balance between satisfying the permitting agency and keeping construction moving forward. 

Our solid waste experience spans decades, and our expertise includes recycling and composting. Our solid waste engineering services include planning, management forecasting, facility design and permitting, and operations development. We help you meet requirements and establish a compliant facility that is ready for the future.

In the early stages of project development, we can complete an air permit applicability analysis to determine whether you need a permit, what type of permit you need, and the requirements you will need to fulfill to comply with the permit. We can advise you on design elements that will improve the likelihood that your project will be permitted and assist you with the permit application and public comment process. We can also support dispersion modeling, demonstrate compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and perform risk assessment to demonstrate compliance with air toxics programs.

It’s your project, and you want it done right—on schedule and on budget while meeting every permit and regulatory requirement. We provide experienced construction management and oversight to minimize your risk while maximizing your results. From small street improvements to the construction of a multi-acre, mixed-use development, your project will be our priority.

We assist clients with property portfolio management and owners’ representative services. Examples include facility maintenance actions, planning department reviews, landscape design, utility rerouting, facility inventory and inspections, property management system development and upkeep, and any task where a professional representative is needed to engage on your behalf.
