SERVICES
Our Mission
Prime Site Partners was built to reduce development cost, complexity, and investment risk for growing multi-unit franchisees.
Our strength lies in our strategic mix of services — and in the novel ways we manage every step of the site selection, acquisition, and land development process. Regardless of what and where you choose to build, we strive to deliver:
- High-performing sites with long-term profit potential
- Lower land costs, whether you purchase or ground lease
- Smoother zoning and permitting approvals with fewer delays
- Quality site work that's completed on time and within budget
01 — SITE SELECTION
Expert Site Selection
Settling for a site that's "the best available" isn't a strong enough strategy. It's why our search process goes far beyond what can be done on a laptop. We pick up the phone. We knock on doors. We look beyond what's listed, seeking additional off-market opportunities — and when we find a possible fit, we engage directly with landowners to negotiate.
That extra effort makes us unique, and it ensures you'll be able to make the smartest possible decision when you're ready to build.
02 — LAND ACQUISITION
Purchase or ground lease — your capital, your call.
Purchase
We work outside the traditional brokerage model, so we can purchase sites for you commission-free. Typically, we negotiate directly with landowners — and our 20+ years of experience appraising land, retail, and restaurant properties informs every offer we make. That expertise allows us to buy the right site at the lowest possible cost.
- Own the land and build long-term equity
- Benefit from future land appreciation
- Long term control over your location
- Collateral for future remodeling or expansion
- Preserve future sale-leaseback opportunities
- Greater flexibility when the franchise is sold
Ground Lease
Instead of a purchase, you can keep your capital and ground lease your site. Our ground leases are tailored to fit your franchise requirements and construction timeline, and our rental rates usually fall below the local market average due to our lean corporate structure and operational discipline.
- Zero upfront capital investment in land
- No rent during design, permitting, or construction
- Long-term security and operational control
- Fully aligned with all franchise requirements
- Fixed rent structure and transparent escalations
- Secure 10+ year terms plus flexible renewal options
- A faster path to growth for multi-unit franchisees
Three ways to secure your next site:
With our ground lease option, you can reduce your total upfront investment in new store development by 25%.

03 — APPROVALS
Zoning, Entitlements, Permitting
Prior positions in zoning administration, at both the city and county level, have taught us how to navigate the entitlements process with speed, precision, and clarity. At the earliest stages, we proactively engage with local land use authorities to discuss site design and building plans.
If any approvals or reviews are required, we'll assist at no cost to you.
04 — SITE DEVELOPMENT
Development Support
Some sites need work before they're building-ready. Regardless of the service — surveying, clearing, grading, and demolition, to name just a few — we can connect you with skilled local professionals who will do the job well.
We can also manage the entire site development process for you, to ensure the project remains on schedule and within your budget.
05 — AFTER YOU OPEN
Property Tax Monitoring
Lower real estate taxes are a direct boost to store-level profitability. Our principals have previously testified in property tax appeals and have contributed to successful outcomes, resulting in refunds to taxpayers and reductions in future tax expense.
We actively monitor assessments and taxes for our ground leased sites, always looking for leverage to lower the bill.
