Advisory
Valuation
Valuation has always been at the heart of what Archstone Group stands for. Our appraisal process delivers realistic, data-driven analysis and interpretation of market trends to arrive at credible, defensible conclusions of value. Whether for financing, taxation, litigation, planning, or investment, we provide clarity where it matters most.
We work with a diverse range of clients — from municipal and federal agencies, non-profits, and corporations to private investors, estate holders, and individual property owners — delivering appraisals that meet the highest professional standards and withstand rigorous scrutiny.
Archstone Group’s assignments span the full spectrum of real estate, including:
- Large tracts of land for development, conservation, or agricultural use.
- Complex income-producing properties such as commercial office buildings, logistics warehouses, shopping centers, and mixed-use developments.
- Specialized projects including condominium developments, hospitality and resort assets, and unique-use properties.
- Residential assets ranging from luxury estates to multifamily housing.
With MAI-designated and Certified General Appraisers leading every assignment, our work is firmly grounded in USPAP standards and tailored to the specific requirements of each engagement, including compliance with the Yellow Book (UASFLA) for federal land acquisition and eminent domain projects.
Headquartered in New York, Archstone Group operates across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, combining regional expertise with national perspective. Alongside our core valuation services, we also provide cost segregation studies, benchmarking analyses, and desktop solutions — giving property owners, lenders, attorneys, and consultants the insight they need to make confident, well-informed decisions.
Client-Centric Approach
Our clients are our priority. Exceptional customer service and personalized experiences define our company culture.
Advisory
At Archstone Group, advisory is the natural extension of our valuation expertise. While appraisals provide a snapshot of value, our advisory services focus on unlocking potential, guiding strategy, and maximizing returns. We help clients gain a deeper understanding of their real estate assets and identify actionable opportunities to position each property for its highest and best use — ensuring ownership decisions are aligned with both current market realities and long-term objectives.
Our advisory work goes beyond analysis. We assist clients in raising capital, provide introductions to trusted brokerage and legal professionals, and help assemble the right team of experts to advance complex projects. Whether you are planning a redevelopment, evaluating a portfolio strategy, navigating tax implications, or seeking to optimize underperforming assets, Archstone delivers insight that bridges the gap between market data and real-world execution.
Tailored Guidance for Every Client
Every advisory engagement is individually crafted. We take the time to understand your short-, medium-, and long-term goals, your risk profile, and your vision for the asset. This allows us to provide customized recommendations that address the most pressing challenges while positioning you to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
