Brownfield redevelopment consulting
With a deep understanding of all the variables at play, we drive land reuse plans that deliver on business goals.
No matter what you call them — brownfields, Superfund sites, recycled land, surplus properties — contaminated sites have one thing in common: Redeveloping them is a multidisciplinary challenge that demands creativity and coordination among public and private actors. You need to consider remediation approaches, site end use, funding, permitting, and a host of other challenges. We know that brownfield sites offer incredible opportunity, but pitfalls abound that can cost time and money and strain partner relationships: Failure to integrate remediation and new construction. Trouble securing funding or applying limited funding for the most impact. Red tape from local, state, and federal government entities. Ineffective communication with your local community. Failure to consider climate resilience and environmental justice.
Redevelopment is challenging, but with the right guidance, it’s absolutely attainable. With Haley & Aldrich’s brownfields team, you get partners who understand how all the pieces of a land reuse project fit together. We offer the key services for projects in-house, and we understand every project phase and the perspectives of all parties involved. And with a long history of advising real estate, industrial and manufacturing, infrastructure, and municipal clients, we bring an intimate understanding of how each sector views the goals and challenges of a land reuse project.
We guide clients toward comprehensive solutions while navigating the complex interplay between public and private interests. When we work with developers and local governments to reach their vision and generate returns on their investments, we do more than simply move a project forward; we partner creatively with all parties involved to achieve an elegant solution that meets environmental, health, and economic needs.

Service highlights
A cross-disciplinary approach to redevelopment that centers your objectives
We understand that your overarching goal is successful property redevelopment, and we’re there with you every step of the way. We’re partners, and we start by establishing a deep understanding of your challenges and goals so that we can serve as an extension of your team. Then we lay the foundation for successful redevelopment—we open collaborative channels of communication with regulators, support public communication and community engagement, develop effective environmental assessment strategies, coordinate carefully with your design team, and strategize to make redevelopment the remedy.
We bring the precise expertise and industry insight that each project requires, drawing from a deep bench of environmental and engineering experts across the country to tailor our approach. For example, if you work with us to pursue a federal brownfields grant, our engagement doesn’t stop when you receive funding; we’re there to support implementation, reporting, regulatory coordination, community engagement, and implementation strategy. We view ourselves as true partners with clients, starting by establishing a deep understanding of their challenges and goals so that we can serve as an extension of their team.
