Duff & Phelps Launches Site Selector

A Digital Marketplace for Communities and Corporate Site Selectors

Duff & Phelps, the global advisor that protects, restores and maximizes value for clients, today announced the launch of its Site Selector product. Powered by tech startup StageXchange, Site Selector is the premier marketplace that provides corporate site selectors with the digital tools that they need to identify, analyze and select new locations for their investments. Companies post projects and the marketplace uses AI to invite registered Economic Development Offices to submit sites and other information about their communities for consideration.

Key functions and features of Site Selector, all managed from an intuitive dashboard, include:

• Identify: Quickly and efficiently target the locations that best meet your project requirements. Save time building your short list with Site Selector’s AI-assisted matchmaking tool.
• Analyze: Accelerate the due diligence process with embedded pro formas and interactive financial models. Rank each proposed location using the Site Scoring feature.
• Select: Confidently select the best possible location for your project with an incentive package that fits your needs. Immediately access all the relevant information within a single platform.

Greg Burkart, Managing Director and head of the Site Selection and Incentives Advisory practice at Duff & Phelps, commented, “With millennials streaming into the labor force and corporate investment accelerating at an exponential pace, there is a need to efficiently connect communities and companies with a product like Site Selector. Economic Development Offices seek information on companies looking for new locations to build, hire and invest, and corporate site selectors seek information on the best sites, labor force, business climates and incentives package for their project. Site Selector is a one-stop-shop for EDOs and corporations to efficiently gather information and develop mutually beneficial relationships. In combination with Duff & Phelps site selection expertise, I am confident the digital marketplace will encourage and facilitate even more investment and job creation.”

“We are excited to work with Duff & Phelps to bring this transformative new product to market. Duff & Phelps is a market leader in advising companies on new locations and negotiating economic development incentives and the Site Selector product will change the way the process is done,” said Keith Hopkins, CEO of StageXchange.
