RESOLUTION EQUITIES, INC. : PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Brownfield Redevelopment Experience and Expertise
The Problem:
In the US alone, there are over 100,000 closed landfills. Add to that an equivalent number of brownfield sites due to poor stewardship or outdated mitigation methods during manufacturing, or with fuel depots or chemical spills, and the number of brownfields becomes alarming. And meanwhile, the potential value of these properties goes unrecognized and unrealized.
The Solution:
We at Resolution Equities are the solution to this problem. The good news is that many such properties can be restored to full and productive utility, richly contributive assets in their communities. Such restoration and reclamation can only be accomplished through detailed planning and execution; that means vision, knowledge, leadership, persistence, dedication, and effective coordination.
The Goal:
Realizing the fact that most of these brownfield sites are now inside or within proximity to urban population areas is another problem waiting to happen, Resolution Equities was established to achieve the aforementioned Solution. We bring together those very elements, and manage them with consistent results: properties rescued from neglect and abandonment to productive new life. For years now, the Resolution Equities team has been doing exactly that. Transforming eyesores and liabilities into economic and cultural assets.
Case Study:
Metro Phoenix: After gravel mining operations ceased this property adjacent to the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area was used as an illegal dump for decades. The unfenced sheer walls of the open pit were as high as 60’; the property was a magnet for serious mishap, exactly what the insurance industry would define as an attractive nuisance.
The land is now high end commercial/industrial development with several companies locating their corporate headquarters there.
