International Commercial Partners

Our Services

We advise international manufacturing companies and institutions across the full lifecycle of an industrial real estate decision, from first market analysis and site selection to incentives, cross-border capital, and occupancy to production in the Southeastern United States.

For Manufacturers & Occupiers

Industrial Site Selection & Feasibility

The right site is a strategic decision that ripples through every part of a manufacturing operation. We evaluate candidate locations across skilled-labor availability, power and utility capacity, transportation and logistics, environmental and site risk, and speed to market, building a clear, data-driven comparison of the true total cost of occupancy so you can commit with confidence.

Incentives Advisory & Negotiation

From zoning and entitlements to county- and state-level engagement, we help secure the incentives that make a project viable: tax credits, abatements, and utility and workforce grants, working with the right economic development partners.

U.S. Market Entry for Manufacturers

Establishing a U.S. footprint is a complex, high-stakes move for any international manufacturing company. Having lived and worked across seven countries, we guide global companies through the full journey: market analysis, location strategy, site selection, incentives, and occupancy to operation, connecting Eastern and Western business approaches with genuine multicultural insight and multilingual fluency.

CFIUS & Cross-Border Compliance

Foreign direct investment in U.S. real estate carries rules that catch many international companies off guard, especially for sites near military bases, ports, and other sensitive locations now covered by CFIUS (the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States). We flag exposure before you commit, structure transactions to clear review, and coordinate with specialist counsel so compliance is built into the deal from day one rather than discovered late. The result is a cleaner path to closing and a U.S. footprint you can operate with confidence.

How we work

A structured, accountable engagement

We operate as one accountable team and stay at the table from first conversation to production, with a single point of contact throughout.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We start by understanding your operation, growth plans, and the requirements that will shape the right location.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    We set financial parameters, align stakeholders, and weigh location options against a clear, data-driven framework.

  3. 03

    Alignment

    We pressure-test the shortlist, negotiate incentives and terms, and confirm the path forward with everyone at the table.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    We manage the details through closing and occupancy, staying engaged from market entry to production.

What we advise on

The decisions behind a successful facility

A site is far more than a building. We pressure-test every location against the factors that determine long-term cost and performance. We were early to flag how rising electrical demand constrains manufacturing sites, and we keep evolving as automation, data centers, and emerging technologies reshape what a facility needs.

  • Labor & Workforce

    Skilled-labor availability, wage benchmarks, and workforce-training partnerships with local institutions.

  • Power & Utilities

    Electrical capacity, water, gas, and fiber, and whether the provider can reliably deliver as advanced-manufacturing demand keeps rising.

  • Automation & Robotics

    Power density, floor loading, and building specifications that modern automated and robotic production lines depend on.

  • Logistics & Access

    Proximity to ports, rail, and interstates, and to the customers and suppliers in your value chain.

  • Incentives & Tax

    Credits, abatements, exemptions, and grants that materially offset development and operating cost.

  • Total Cost of Occupancy

    A full picture of cost beyond rent, across transportation, labor, utilities, and taxes.

  • Site & Supply-Chain Risk

    Zoning, environmental, regulatory, and supply-chain exposure surfaced before it impacts the investment.

The ICP difference

The same senior team, from first analysis to final decision.

Whatever the engagement, you get hands-on, senior advisory, not a process line. We stay at the table through every step, pairing genuine empathy for your goals with data-driven, AI-sharpened insight.

Individual

You work directly with the people who do the work. Senior, hands-on attention and a strategy shaped around your business, never a template, never a handoff to a junior desk.

Efficiency

A lean, senior team means direct decisions and no bureaucracy. We move faster, and we cut through the complexity a large firm would bill you for.

Privacy

Expansion plans are sensitive. We treat every conversation with discretion and keep your intentions confidential until you are ready to make them public.
