Experience informed by years of involvement in complex planning, infrastructure and development environments.
Initial site assessment
Is This Site Worth Pursuing?
A promising infill site can become complicated quickly. Before committing significant capital, developers need a disciplined first view of what may be possible, what could prevent it and whether the opportunity warrants deeper investigation.
The Initial Site Assessment is a paid diagnostic that turns the available property information into a clear pursue, adjust or pause recommendation.
What does planning policy support?
Review zoning, applicable plans, land-use requirements and the likely municipal pathway.
What could limit the site?
Identify known access, parcel, servicing, context and physical constraints requiring attention.
What development potential is plausible?
Establish a high-level direction for use, density, building form and development capacity.
Could subdivision affect the opportunity?
Flag parcel configuration or subdivision considerations that should be tested in the core package.
What should happen next?
Define the information, consultants and feasibility work needed before a larger commitment.
Is deeper investigation justified?
Conclude with a practical recommendation to pursue, adjust, pause or decline the opportunity.
What you receive
A concise written assessment, opportunity-and-constraint summary, information-gap list and recommended scope for the next stage.
Start with clarity before committing to the core package.
Assessments start at $6,500. The full fee is credited toward the Feasibility and Architectural Concept Package when the project proceeds under the agreed terms.
Offer 2 • Core engagement
Turn Site Potential Into a Decision-Ready Concept.
The Development Feasibility and Architectural Concept Package combines planning-led site analysis with early architectural design. It gives developers a credible basis for choosing a direction, presenting the opportunity and deciding whether to proceed toward funding and municipal approvals.
More than a test fit. The package connects development potential, concept design, visual communication and the next approval decision.
Analyse the Site
Review planning policy, zoning, access, context, servicing information, parcel conditions and known constraints.
Test Two Scenarios
Compare materially different development approaches, including use, density, massing, yield and subdivision implications.
Refine One Direction
Develop the preferred scenario into a coherent site plan, building organization, project statistics and architectural concept.
Make It Understandable
Produce seven high-quality rendered views and an integrated package for partners, consultants, funders and municipal discussions.
What the package includes
One coordinated view of the opportunity.
- Planning and site-constraint analysis
- Development-potential findings
- Two concept scenarios
- One refined preferred concept
- Preliminary yield and project statistics
- Subdivision strategy, where applicable
- Seven high-quality rendered views
- Preliminary approval and consultant pathway
- Integrated 25–40 page report
Decision supportedIs this the concept the developer should advance toward capital and municipal review?
After receipt of required information, subject to complexity and review timing.
Complex, high-density and mixed-use opportunities receive a custom proposal.
The Initial Site Assessment fee is credited when the project proceeds under the agreed terms.
A stronger basis for the next investment decision.
The package does not guarantee density, approval, financing or construction cost. It identifies the assumptions, risks and professional inputs needed to advance responsibly.
Final scope, fee, deliverables and required professional consultants depend on the site, municipality, project complexity and information available.
A staged engagement
One Decision at a Time. One Clear Path Forward.
Infinity Edge does not ask developers to commit to the entire journey at the beginning. Each offer answers a defined question, produces a useful outcome and creates a decision point before the next investment is made.

Capital Readiness and Funding Documentation
We organize the concept, development statistics, planning position, preliminary project information and consultant inputs into a coordinated package for discussions with lenders, mortgage professionals, equity partners and other capital providers.
Where a capital provider requires an approved development permit or another defined readiness threshold, the project advances through Offer 4 before the final funding update.
DecisionDoes the project have the documentation required for its next capital conversation?

Development Permit and Municipal Approval
The preferred concept is refined with the required professional team and advanced through the applicable municipal process. The standard pathway focuses on the development permit; rezoning, plan amendments and subdivision are separate modules when required.
- Approval strategy
- Pre-application consultation
- Professional-team coordination
- Application documentation
- Municipal response coordination

Offer 5 • Conditional future pathway
Architectural Design and Project Delivery
Once the project is approved and funded, Offer 5 may proceed only with the required registered architectural practice and other regulated professionals formally retained under an approved project agreement. The professional team can then advance the project through detailed design, building permit, contractor procurement and construction-phase services.
Offer 5 will be available only after Infinity Edge has established a professional contracting, licensing and insurance structure that complies with applicable Alberta requirements.
