At Trachtenberg ///, we offer strategic development and planning services tailored to meet the needs of developers, landowners, and those exploring new opportunities.

From initial site exploration to full project development, our services are offered on an a-la-carte basis, allowing you to scale up as your needs evolve without any long-term commitments unless required.
Our Process
We work collaboratively with developers and landowners to guide them through the complexities of site analysis, zoning, and development potential. Our goal is to provide you with the critical insights and tools needed to take your project to the next level.
Who We Serve
- Developers: Whether you're looking to acquire or sell land, we help you maximize the potential of your investment.
- Landowners: If you're considering the possibility of development, we offer detailed assessments to help you evaluate your land’s potential.
- Real Estate Investors: Our services cater to those seeking opportunities to develop, sell, or partner on new projects.
Level 01: Initial Site Analysis
The first step is to conduct a thorough analysis of the site’s zoning, building codes, and other regulatory constraints. This gives us a clear understanding of the maximum potential for the site and provides the foundation for any future design work.
Deliverables:
- General site massing based on transect codes
- Zoning analysis and restrictions
- Area calculations (sellable, common, parking)
- Preliminary floor-to-floor height concepts
Level 02: Detailed Site Exploration
We delve deeper into the site specifics, providing a more refined massing study and detailed calculations on the program’s potential. This phase focuses on key design components, such as unit quantity, parking requirements, and area distribution.
Deliverables:
- Detailed massing based on program (core, unit area, amenities, parking)
- Unit quantity breakdown
- Parking requirements and layout
- Conceptual floor plans and sections
- Internal program allocation for various uses
Level 03: Pre-Concept Design
This phase acts as an “a-la-carte” pre-concept design, offering tailored solutions based on the client’s needs. It includes everything from unit layouts and conceptual renderings to a more defined strategy for parking and program distribution. This phase can also be used to develop a marketing package for your project.
Deliverables:
- In-house renderings (overview, aerial, pedestrian level, access)
- Site-specific program representations and market-appropriate typology imagery
- Unit and parking strategy, including layout and structural concepts
- Professional renderings and design coordination as needed
- Graphic and sales pitch package (including material boards, marketing floor plans, etc.)
- Soft cost calculations (consultants' fees, developer fees, sales costs)
