Full-spectrum
development advisory
for New Jersey infill.

From the first site walk to the final certificate of occupancy, RiverSand provides integrated advisory services across every phase of the development process. We work with landowners, community organizations, emerging developers, and institutional investors who need a trusted local partner with real project experience.

  • We evaluate every site against market conditions, zoning, and financial return thresholds to determine the optimal development program — residential, mixed-use, retail, or phased combinations.

  • Institutional-grade financial modeling — including conceptual budgets, 10-year cash flow projections, IRR analysis, debt service coverage ratios, and sensitivity scenarios — delivered with transparency.

  • We help you understand your equity requirements, identify the right capital stack, and structure partnerships — including joint ventures, preferred equity, and construction financing — that align with your risk profile.

  • New Jersey offers a robust landscape of incentive programs — EDA grants, NJ Land Bank acquisition support, affordable housing tax credits, and more. We identify, apply for, and structure around these programs to improve project economics.

  • We navigate New Jersey's municipal approval processes — coordinating with architects, planners, and attorneys to secure site plan approval, zoning variances, and certificates of occupancy on schedule.

  • Leveraging CHS Construction's certified builder network, we source, vet, and manage general contractors. We oversee scope development, phasing, hiring, and day-to-day construction management through stabilization.

  • Environmental assessments, geotechnical reviews, title analysis, survey coordination, and utility capacity checks — we manage the full suite of due diligence to protect your investment before commitment.

  • We develop the leasing narrative, unit mix optimization, and go-to-market strategy — including digital presence, broker outreach, and community engagement — to drive lease-up velocity from day one.

  • From architects and engineers to attorneys and property managers, we plan the project team hierarchy, manage the RFP and hiring process, and ensure clear scopes and accountability structures throughout the development lifecycle.
