From supply chain efficiencies to power costs to economic incentives, Walbridge seamlessly melds real estate strategy solutions and technical know-how with customers’ short- and long-term goals.
We start by asking questions. Is it a single location? The entire real estate portfolio? Focusing on future growth? Future operations? Nearshoring? Onshoring? And because we have been offering location strategy, site selection, and incentives negotiation services for customers since the early 2000s, we ask more questions – about company strategy, vision, goals and culture.
Dennis C. Cuneo has answers. He is a recognized expert in site selection and incentive negotiation. Site Selection Magazine described him as “one of the most sought-after site seekers in the world.” As a senior vice president of Toyota, he led the company’s site selection activities and has consulted on many projects since leaving Toyota, which have ranged from a multi-billion vehicle battery plant to HQ and R&D facilities. He has negotiated several billion dollars in incentives. His time-tested skills honed from decades as a recognized leader in North American site location services, coupled with Walbridge’s world-class design and construction expertise allow us to identify the best location based on current market data and leading industry trends.
Experience. Perspective. Mission. Strategy. Purpose. We take pride in matching people and places for long-term growth and prosperity.
