Strategic Planning Concepts International (SPCI) is an international, non-transactional, commercial real estate consulting company, with more than 35 years of experience in assisting developers, retailers, investors, architects and planners in all asset categories.  This company is particularly focused on meeting client needs in the areas of strategic options; site, market and project analysis; design review; retail tenant mix assessments, and future trends analysis.  SPCI builds its work on extensive qualitative research and analysis.  While working with big quantitative data providers, SPCI focuses on the "context" behind the "content" and makes every effort to be sure that the right questions are being asked when planning new mixed-use projects or repositioning an existing mixed use, multiple use or single-use projects.  While SPCI still works with single-use and single-level projects, it is our experience that increasing these solutions do not represent the highest and best use for the property.  In assessing client needs, the role of time, available budget and organizational resources, and tolerance for risk play a large role in selecting the best strategy.
