Real Estate Development

Dienna Nelson Augustine Company showcases an impressive list of recent development projects in Houston and throughout the country. Our ability to handle the intricacies of each phase of development allows us to serve the specific needs of your company and ensure an efficient, cost-effective, and timely project. The ultimate goal of each development project is to "sit on the same side of the table" as our clients. One of the advantages that our firm offers is our flexibility in terms of project financing and delivery. We have the ability to assist our clients in analyzing and selecting the best financing/ownership structure for their specific situation. Often we are able to proceed with the programming and design of a project while concurrently exploring the best occupancy arrangement to suit our clients needs.

Build-To-Suit

Build-to-suit facilities for lease have been one of our core project types since the company was founded in 1981. We have built facilities for lease to many national and local companies like Yokohama Tire Corporation, Alco Standard Corporation, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and seventeen (17) facilities for Federal Express, nationwide.

Fee Development

Dienna Nelson Augustine Company provides Fee Development services for other owners, landlords and users. The firm has developed projects on a fee basis for such clients as Mitsubishi, TA Associates Realty, Stone & Webster Engineering, Benchmark Electronics, Telxon Corporation, Ultramar Diamond Shamrock, Jacobs Engineering, FMC Technologies, Inc. and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. Except for funding the project, every other aspect of fee development is handled the same as a project owned by Dienna Nelson Augustine Company.

Project Management

The ability to evaluate and assemble the most qualified team for each individual project is an underlying quality of the Dienna Nelson Augustine Company. In essence, we become our client's real estate department. Our firm is somewhat unique in that the day-to-day accountability of each project rests with a principal of the firm. Project Management services offers the client the opportunity to be as involved or uninvolved as they choose.

Feasibility Analysis

To date we have completed nearly ninety projects, including office buildings, warehouses, laboratories and manufacturing facilities. Such activity allows us to maintain an up-to-date understanding of the market. Through review of project budgets and various other studies, Dienna Nelson Augustine Company is able to ascertain the feasibility of any proposed project, from the point of view of functionality and in terms of long term value.

Sale/Lease Back

For those companies which choose to access capital which may be confined in their existing facilities, Dienna Nelson Augustine Company offers Sale/Lease Back services. Type of real estate, financial strength of the client and lease term are all factors which enter into the Sale/Lease Back equation.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

In recent years, many corporations have found off-balance sheet financing to be the most attractive way to finance new projects. These complex transactions have unique requirements, and we have developed a considerable number of projects for major companies utilizing this type of financing.

Asset Management

Dienna Nelson Augustine Company provides property management and marketing services whereby we assume a variety of roles, from landlord to representative to consultant. In all cases, we offer the strength of experience, market knowledge, and a track record of proven success.

Property Management

As developers and owners of property ourselves, Dienna Nelson Augustine Company provides property management services from a landlord's perspective. Our managed properties have consistently achieved a high level of occupancy in their respective submarkets and are maintained to the highest of standards. We currently manage several properties, including many of the projects we have developed for our clients.

Leasing Services

Dienna Nelson Augustine provides leasing services for many of the properties we manage. Our properties often obtain some of the highest rental rates, even during downturns in the market. Once again, as owners, we realize it is not just the lease rate, but the actual cost to implement the lease and, in turn, the creation of value which is ultimately important to our clients.

Institutional Consulting

We have successfully managed and leased property for some of the largest pension funds and pension fund advisory firms in the country. We fully understand the accountability and reporting procedures which are necessary for these types of clients. Our management and accounting departments are proficient with the latest reporting software.

Property Evaluation

Dienna Nelson Augustine Company provides Property Evaluation and Acquisition Analysis services for third parties. Property Evaluation and Analysis can range from single-tenant, industrial facilities to high-rise, multi-tenant office buildings, and can be for existing properties or proposed developments.
