Whether you are in real estate, retail, or the hospitality industry, success hinges upon knowing your best customers and where to find more like them. Moreover, driven by positive growth in the economy, real estate in India is booming. The Government of India has opened the construction and development sector in February 2006 and allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) under the 'automatic route' in order to spur investment in the vital infrastructure sector. Disti’s powerful segmentation capabilities can help international as well as Indian investors to invest in India and greatly improve your customer acquisition and retention goals. Our accurate analysis of your markets, sites, and trade areas will help uncover potential, in-fill opportunities and eliminate overlaps in existing markets. Disti’s property consulting helps clients in the following specific industry issues:
Location analysis: Demographics, business data, competition and lifestyle segmentation are important components to be considered when evaluating a potential site location for real estate and the hospitality industry.

Financial planning: The increasing depth of the Indian real estate industry and growing interest in new instruments (Real Estate Funds, Asset Reconstruction Companies etc.) calls for specialized and professional valuation services to assess/understand the impact of real estate on financial decisions in addition to fulfilling statutory requirements.

Due diligence: Disti Property Consulting can design and complete sampling and analysis assessments simultaneously at multiple facilities, shortening the overall due diligence schedule. For every due diligence project, we strive to understand our clients' concerns and risk tolerances. One key to client satisfaction is our understanding of regulatory trends and pending changes that can dramatically affect future compliance costs and asset value. We consider these effects and also consult with our clients to identify "deal breaking" issues as early in the process as possible. We also provide critical information in detailed formats.
