What Is Property Redevelopment?

Property redevelopment transforms aging, abandoned or underutilized industrial properties into sites that can support new investment, construction or productive reuse. Existing structures, environmental conditions, obsolete infrastructure and site constraints often need to be addressed before redevelopment can move forward.

NADC supports industrial and brownfield redevelopment through coordinated demolition, environmental services, asset recovery and site preparation. Working with owners, consultants, engineers, contractors and other project stakeholders, NADC helps address existing site conditions and prepare properties for their planned next use.

A Planned Approach to Property Redevelopment

Redevelopment projects often involve more than the removal of existing structures. Environmental conditions, utilities, reusable assets, remaining infrastructure and future development plans must be considered together so that demolition and site work support the property’s long-term objectives.

01

Property & Redevelopment Evaluation

Existing structures, utilities, environmental conditions, site constraints and future redevelopment goals are reviewed to help define the overall project requirements.

02

Environmental & Project Coordination

Environmental investigation, remediation requirements, permitting considerations and other specialty services are coordinated with the appropriate consultants, contractors and project stakeholders.

03

Demolition & Asset Recovery

Obsolete structures, equipment and infrastructure are removed in a planned sequence while reusable equipment, recyclable materials and other recoverable assets are identified and separated where appropriate.

04

Site Preparation for Future Use

Foundations, remaining infrastructure and demolition materials are addressed as required, with clearing, grading and restoration coordinated around the owner’s redevelopment plans.

Property Redevelopment Capabilities

NADC supports redevelopment projects by coordinating the demolition, environmental, asset-recovery and site-preparation activities needed to transition obsolete industrial properties toward their next use.

Evaluate

Property & Site Condition Review

Evaluation of existing facilities, infrastructure, access conditions and redevelopment requirements to help establish the scope and sequence of demolition and site work.

Due Diligence & Environmental Coordination

Coordination with qualified consultants and specialty contractors for site investigation, environmental assessment, remediation and related requirements affecting redevelopment.

Transform

Facility Decommissioning & Demolition

Planned dismantling and demolition of obsolete buildings, equipment, process systems and infrastructure that no longer support the property’s future use.

Asset Recovery & Material Reuse

Identification and separation of reusable equipment, metals and other materials that may provide resale, reuse or recycling opportunities during redevelopment.

Prepare

Site Clearing & Infrastructure Removal

Removal of foundations, slabs, below-grade structures and other remaining infrastructure required to clear the property for its next phase.

Site Restoration & Redevelopment Preparation

Concrete processing, backfilling, grading, drainage coordination and other site work required to transition the property toward redevelopment or new construction.

Explore selected projects that demonstrate NADC’s experience transforming obsolete industrial properties through decommissioning, environmental coordination, asset recovery and site preparation.

Demolition of mill structures at the former Fraser pulp mill in Berlin, New Hampshire

Pulp Mill Decommissioning

Fraser Pulp Mill Decommissioning & Redevelopment

Berlin, New Hampshire

NADC decommissioned and dismantled 85 structures across approximately 120 acres while coordinating environmental remediation and recovering reusable industrial equipment. More than $10 million in asset value was generated, and remaining site infrastructure was positioned for redevelopment and conversion of the retained power facility to a biomass-energy use.

SABIC Plant Decommissioning & Demolition

Washington, West Virginia

NADC completed phased decommissioning and demolition across an approximately 100-acre industrial property, including environmental coordination, asset recovery and removal of buildings, tanks and infrastructure. Concrete was processed and reused on site, and the property was graded and restored to support drainage and future development.

Property Redevelopment Across Complex Properties

NADC supports redevelopment across a range of industrial and commercial properties where demolition, environmental conditions and existing infrastructure must be addressed before a site can move toward its next use.

Brownfield & Former Industrial Sites

Demolition, environmental coordination and site preparation for underutilized or obsolete industrial properties being positioned for reuse.

Manufacturing Properties

Removal of aging facilities, equipment and infrastructure to support new development, facility replacement or a change in property use.

Power Generation Sites

Decommissioning and removal of obsolete generating facilities and infrastructure as properties transition toward redevelopment or alternative uses.

Pulp & Paper Properties

Redevelopment support for large mill sites involving environmental conditions, asset recovery, process infrastructure and multiple structures.

Chemical & Process Facilities

Phased decommissioning, environmental coordination and site preparation across complex industrial properties with extensive process infrastructure.

Commercial Properties

Demolition and site preparation supporting redevelopment of obsolete or underutilized commercial buildings and properties.

Large Industrial Campuses

Coordinated demolition, asset recovery and site preparation across multi-building properties where redevelopment may occur in phases.
