The Developer Deal Desk
A Division of Chestnut Bridge Partners, LLC
Pressure-test the deal before the deal tests you.
The Developer Deal Desk is a front-end deal protection system. We pressure-test land, redevelopment, and value-add opportunities before you sign the LOI, raise capital, or commit serious money — and deliver one written decision.
One written verdict, with the numbers behind it.
The Problem
Most development deals do not fail in construction. They fail at the purchase — the price was too high, the density too optimistic, the budget too thin, or the LOI gave away your leverage. And by the time those mistakes surface, your capital is already committed.
The Front Product
The 72-Hour Deal Pressure Test
$1,995 flat. No range. No hourly. No surprises.
Send us the deal. Within 72 hours of payment and complete file receipt, you get a written decision memo with one clear verdict — and 100% of the fee credits toward deeper work within 30 days.
A kill is a win. If the memo kills the deal, it just saved you fifty times the fee. The most expensive deal you will ever do is the one that should have died at the LOI.
Decision memo
3–5 pages. The verdict, the reasoning, and the one lever that fixes the deal if it is fixable.
Numbers snapshot
One page: realistic density, residual land value, supportable pricing, yield, construction risk, key kill risks.
What we examine
Feasibility, density, acquisition price, construction budget risk, LOI and business-term exposure, go/no-go logic.
Turnaround
72 hours from payment and complete file.
