Our Mission…effective economic analyses
FXM Associates is an economic planning and real estate consulting firm that has successfully completed more than 400 project assignments over the past 30 years. We understand that each assignment poses a unique challenge worthy of fresh ideas tempered by the experience of many relevant projects. We think that effective economic planning leads to long term aspirations that can survive changing social, economic and environmental circumstances. At the same time, if some initiatives are practical enough to be realized soon they will reinforce support for the longer- term vision. We strive to help our clients achieve both.
Our Practice
Our areas of expertise are economic development, transportation, real estate economics, and social and economic impact assessments for a wide variety of projects and programs. Our specialty practice area in waterfront planning and economics includes an unmatched breadth and depth of project experience.
Since 1991 FXM has been helping clients:
- Revitalize and expand the economies of downtowns, neighborhoods, and communities;
- Optimize the effects of major transportation and other infrastructure projects on household income, jobs, business sales, and taxes; and
- Capture market demand that can assure successful real estate rehabilitation and new development projects.
Our staff includes four professionals who each have over 30 years of experience. We work cooperatively on each assignment and subscribe to a strict peer review process. We understand that our work is useful only if it can be communicated clearly with concise text and understandable graphics.
FXM Associates’ work has been recognized with a dozen international, national, and state-level awards for excellence by the American Planning Association (APA), the Congress for the New Urbanism, the Waterfront Center, and others.
As you will see in the project examples on this website, FXM has enjoyed an extraordinary record of influence in helping its clients achieve their objectives. We hope you will review projects of interest and contact us if we can help you better understand market opportunities, assess project and program-related economic and fiscal effects, and achieve your economic and real estate development objectives.
