Site Selection Consulting

Hahn USA provides site selection consulting for corporate users, manufacturers, logistics operators, and institutional stakeholders evaluating U.S. locations for industrial, logistics, manufacturing, and mission-critical facilities. Our work is designed to support real transaction execution—whether the outcome is a lease, acquisition, build-to-suit, or multi-site expansion plan.

We help clients reduce uncertainty early by aligning operational requirements, location feasibility, incentives, and execution pathways into a single, decision-ready framework.

Site selection becomes critical when small differences in location translate into major economic outcomes, including:

• Power, utility, or infrastructure constraints
   
• Labor availability and wage pressure
   
• Port, rail, and highway access
   
• Permitting timelines and entitlement risk
   
• Incentives and compliance requirements
   
• Customer and supplier proximity
   
• Execution sequencing across multiple regions
   

Our focus is not generic “best city” research. It is site feasibility tied to transaction reality.

Site selection consulting typically includes evaluation of:

• Facility size, clear height, dock requirements, yard depth
   
• Power and utility requirements (capacity and timeline)
   
• Access and circulation (truck courts, turning radii, ingress/egress)
   
• Environmental constraints and remediation exposure
   
• Expansion capability and long-term optionality
   

• Industrial submarket suitability and availability
   
• Transportation network (port / rail / interstate / airport)
   
• Labor pool characteristics and competitive pressure
   
• Construction readiness and timeline risk
   
• Local governance and permitting complexity
   

• Property tax abatements and negotiated PILOT structures
   
• Sales/use tax exemptions where applicable
   
• Workforce training grants and job credits
   
• Utility rate incentives and infrastructure support
   
• Compliance conditions and “clawback” risk
   

Hahn USA’s site selection work is structured to move smoothly into brokerage execution, including:

• Tenant representation and lease negotiation
   
• Buyer representation for land or existing facilities
   
• Build-to-suit negotiation support
   
• Portfolio or multi-site rollout planning
   
• Coordination with legal, tax, engineering, and construction teams
   

Where appropriate, engagements may be structured as retainer-backed mandates, particularly for multi-state or time-sensitive expansions.

We support site selection for:

• Korean corporate and institutional investors entering or expanding in the U.S.
   
• Manufacturers building greenfield or expansion facilities
   
• Logistics operators seeking port-oriented distribution capacity
   
• Industrial users evaluating lease vs purchase vs build-to-suit
   
• Corporate real estate teams needing cross-regional shortlisting
   

Active coverage includes:

• Washington
   
• California
   
• Texas
   
• Georgia
   

Through this footprint, Hahn USA supports both regional execution and cross-regional site shortlisting for U.S. expansion strategies.

All real estate brokerage services are performed by licensed real estate brokers in their respective jurisdictions, with California transactions conducted under Department of Real Estate (DRE) jurisdiction. Site selection consulting is structured clearly alongside brokerage authority to ensure regulatory compliance.

Hahn USA operates as a principal-led platform. Engagements are selective and best suited for clients who value:

• clear criteria and decision discipline
   
• realistic execution pathways
   
• discretion and senior involvement
   
• negotiation strength tied to market reality
