Hear from Brokers, Economic Development Organizations, Developers, and Site Owners about the value of the VIP by DRP Program

The most important thing that you have given our group is access to individuals that help make our process go smoother.

Emily D'Agostini Kunath

Principal, D'Agostini Companies

While we are a national industrial developer, we still don’t have insights into some of the site selectors and other global users that are interested in the Detroit Region. Partnering with the DRP allows us to access those users. 

Marc Werner

Regional Vice President, NorthPoint Development

Due diligence typically takes anywhere from six to twelve months. With DRP’s VIP program, it allows some of the due diligence to be completed up front which expedites the timeline … allowing clients to implement their projects and get operational faster. 

Patrich Jett, SIOR

Senior Vice President, Colliers International

The studies that the DRP are doing are a much deeper dive that a lot of savvy buyers are going to want to understand about the parcel. It enhances the marketability and the ability for people to understand what’s being offered.

Paul Hoge, SIOR

Senior Vice President, Signature Associates

A program like VIP helps us understand our sites better so that we can make market them better and ultimately reach our mission of creating more jobs and opportunity in our community.
