Senior Project Manager

Founded in 1996, Maxis Advisors (formerly Development Advisors) applies its expertise in site selection and incentive negotiations to increase project return on investment and internal rate of return for manufacturing, distribution, office, and real estate development projects. Since its founding, Maxis Advisors has negotiated incentive packages on projects representing over $9 billion in capital investment and 7,500 jobs in 42 states.

Our highly-skilled team has successfully worked with clients throughout the United States on engagements ranging from $2 million to $750 million in capital investment. Our clients are middle-market to Fortune 500 companies that recognize location analysis and incentive negotiations are not a core competency of theirs, and by working with us, they can maximize incentives associated with new or routine capital expenditures and job creation.
