Successful brownfield redevelopment demands that smart decisions be made when transforming a neglected or abandoned property into viable real estate.  Hull has more than 25 years of experience in strategic brownfield redevlopment and is proud to have helped many clients build a stronger economic future for their communities and improve the quality of life for the people who live there. Our value is evident through our many accomplishments and our diverse team of experts in economic development, risk assessment, construction services, funding, and public relations.

Hull leverages its expertise in remediation, constraint engineering, and energy to increase the return on redevelopment investments. The result is restoration of tax revenues, reduced contamination, increased property value, preservation of green space, and additional real estate development opportunities for the entire community.

We help you evaluate and mitigate risk by taking on some of the risk ourselves through equity investments and alternative contract strategies. At Hull, we take this commitment seriously and have an ownership interest in several brownfield redevelopments. We have built Hull offices on brownfields that we revitalized.

The volume of those who have sought our advice is representative of the respect we have gained in the field.  We are frequently invited to speak before state committees, business associations, and state and national conferences about brownfield policy and our successes.

Hull performs targeted environmental investigations where appropriate, so our clients can make critical decisions early in the project. Integrating remediation into construction and beneficial reuse of materials is always considered. Hull strategies can often reduce these costs significantly, making the property more competitive with green space development.

Many private, public and non-profit entities have benefited from Hull’s understanding of a wide range of funding programs.  Hull has successfully written ecological/green, brownfields, and energy grant and loan applications for more than $170 million.

The majority of these funds helped leverage assessment, cleanup and redevelopment commitments for communities.  At the federal level, we’ve successfully written 31 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) brownfields grant applications totaling $7,705,000.  Since 1998, Hull has served 26 clients as the lead environmental consultant for the implementation of 57 EPA brownfields grant projects valued at $21,805,000.  We’ve also prepared two of the first EPA Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund applications awarded in Ohio.

In addition, we have prepared 72 successful grant applications under the Clean Ohio Fund programs worth more than $116 million.
