Our Experience

Vista Site Selection’s interdisciplinary experience sets us apart from other site selection companies. Our leadership team brings more than 100 years of site selection experience to every project, including work for public and private companies and municipalities. Our team has professional backgrounds in industries including commercial real estate, aerospace and defense, economic development, economic impact analysis, law and data analytics.  

 

Our work for our clients includes combining advanced proprietary data analytics tools and economic impact analysis, along with decades of site selection consulting experience to create customized solutions for each of our clients. Our industry-leading data analytics professionals develop customized proprietary tools that are available for full-service site selection projects or for our clients to use on their own, another factor that separates Vista Site Selection.

 

We have helped identify sites for a wide array of site selection projects for both private and public government clients (both state and local level), including new corporate headquarters, defense and aerospace projects, distribution and manufacturing facilities, software development centers, medical facilities, and retail and mixed-use development. During our work on these projects, we have secured billions of dollars in incentives for our clients, and developed relationships with important decision makers in nearly every state.

​​

• Working in more than 30 states during 2023 and 2024 alone, leading the site selection process for projects that were offered incentives packages worth more than $3 billion;
