Retail

When national retailers and architects need a local expert in southern California, they call Core.

Why? Because we’re widely recognized as one of California’s leading zoning and permitting experts. They know that when they work with Core, no project is too complex, no project is too tough and no amount of bureaucracy slows your projects down.

We understand the complex approval processes that are prevalent throughout the state. Our seasoned planning and zoning managers have both governmental and private sector work experience, so they know how to move your project through local agencies without losing sight of your bottom line. They know how to speed your project from site feasibility to grand opening as quickly as is humanly possible.

Core’s development team has obtained entitlements and permits in over 160 southern California jurisdictions. We have long-established relationships with their planning and building departments, planning commissions, city councils, and county supervisors. We also have a team of local, in-house A&E professionals. All of which shortens the cycleeliminates finger pointing, and allows our clients to get to market faster

Our project team members are former city planners or current planning commissioners and many are LEED-AP and/or Build-It-Green professionals. They understand both sides of the counter, which helps us move projects through the process more smoothly, more quickly, more cost-effectively than other consultants.

From site investigation, zoning analysis and permit expediting for an existing store retrofit, 24-hour operation or off-site beer & wine, Core’s expertise and relationships take the unpredictability of cost and time out of the equation.

We can help you avoid costly delays by moving projects through the process correctly the first time. That gives Core the flexibility to offer you the traditional (and often unpredictable) “pay as you go” model or a fixed-price alternative. No matter which model you prefer, once the scope of your project is agreed upon, we put our people, processes and systems to work to eliminate the guesswork and to do everything possible to assure a successful outcome.
