History

Redevelopment and the Need for Insurance Archaeology Services

The landscape of urban redevelopment is constantly evolving, and with this evolution comes the challenge of environmental cleanup. The push of redevelopment is always moving forward as cities grow and change. However, most of the ‘clean’ sites within our cities have already undergone redevelopment. What remains are sites characterized by challenging topography, irregular shapes, small or large sizes, the presence of wetlands, unsuitable soils, and most notably pollution.

Contamination inherently make redevelopment more costly. Such costs can lead to a decrease in property values as the market recognizes the additional expenses required for redevelopment. This is where the services of Restorical Research, become invaluable.

In urban redevelopment, the challenges of costly pollution cleanup can lower property values. Restorical Research mitigates these challenges by capitalizing on old insurance policies to fund cleanups, aiding both property sellers and buyers.

We specialize in leveraging old insurance policies as financial assets to fund pollution cleanup. This creative strategy provides a unique solution where the seller of a polluted property does not have to devalue their asset due to the high cost of environmental cleanup. Simultaneously, it spares the buyer from engaging in potentially lengthy and complex litigation with historical polluters, such as oil companies, or large corporations.
