Bio
WTL +a, a small business created in 2009, brings 36 years of experience in real estate and economic development consulting on behalf of public and private clients, including municipal, county and state governments, institutions, investment funds and real estate developers. W. Thomas/Tom Lavash, its Managing Principal and a former principal/partner with ERA (acquired by AECOM), has worked on 500+ projects across the United States and in the Caribbean. He directs market, financial feasibility, and economic impact studies for all types of real estate, with an emphasis on mixed-use, downtown and waterfront, commercial districts and in-town neighborhoods, and new urbanist and transit-oriented development (TOD) projects.
The firm’s practice is focused in the following areas: market and financial feasibility studies for all land uses; development programming; neighborhood- and corridor-commercial district revitalization strategies; and implementation/funding strategies, particularly the use of tax increment financing (TIF). For municipalities and institutions, WTL +a serves as a key advisor on multi-disciplined teams focused on neighborhood and commercial revitalization, economic impacts, market impacts on land use and entitlement policies and cost/benefit studies. The firm’s transportation experience includes: economic development strategies for corridor transit plans; economic impacts of transit alternatives; and TOD, with projects in eight states focused on real estate market potentials, financial feasibility, station area planning, and funding strategies for development surrounding transit stations.
