Land Use & Economic Development Advisory
The decisions
that shape land shape lives.
The Fellows Group is a land use and economic development advisory practice serving developers, investors, nonprofits, and public agencies across Georgia.
TFG is
a pre-development
advisory firm for
consequential land
decisions.
TFG specializes in the analytical and strategic work that shapes a project before construction documents, financing close, or final entitlements are pursued. Engagements range from site evaluation and entitlement strategy for private developers to policy, planning, and program design for public agencies.

How TFG works
Documented analysis, not ad-hoc judgment.
Practitioner and researcher
TFG conducts original analysis and applies it directly to client decisions. Research is the engine that drives advisory work.
Frameworks, not opinions
Recommendations are produced through structured methodology and documented reasoning that clients can defend.
Transactional execution
As a licensed Georgia real estate broker, TFG can move from advisory into acquisition or disposition when required.
