What Site Selection Group, LLC does

Site Selection Group, LLC is a privately held, Dallas-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2006 that provides location advisory, economic incentives negotiation, corporate real estate representation, and economic development consulting to enterprise and mid-market corporations. The firm is positioned as conflict-free — exclusively serving corporations rather than landlords, developers, or brokers with dual agency — and is structured as a partnership of senior practitioners, most of whom built their careers at Trammell Crow Company's Corporate Site Selection division. Service lines span call centers/BPO, manufacturing, distribution, data centers, corporate headquarters, retail, life sciences, private equity, and economic development organizations, with named clients including Amazon, Home Depot, USAA, T-Mobile, FedEx, Wayfair, Lowe's, Instacart, Ryder, Teleperformance, Canadian Solar, and Rollins.

The firm's underlying technology stack consists of four registered-trademark proprietary platforms — GeoCision® (global location benchmarking across labor, costs, geopolitical risk, infrastructure, real estate, and business climate), IncenTrak® (cloud-based economic incentive lifecycle management and compliance), LaborCast® (workforce supply/demand forecasting), and CompeteNow® (community competitive assessment) — supplemented by LaborSuite for economic developer clients. These platforms draw on a proprietary monitoring dataset covering 1,300+ metropolitan areas across 87 countries. Global delivery is enabled through a strategic channel partnership with Exis, providing local conflict-free real estate execution partners in 48 cities across four continents.

The business model is professional services, fee-based, and engagement-specific (no public pricing tiers; multi-year contracts with custom proposals), distributed entirely through direct enterprise sales with no resellers or intermediaries beyond the Exis partnership. The firm has grown organically since founding with no institutional investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds. Headcount is in the 11–50 employee band, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Documented engagement outcomes include a $14.0 million economic incentive package, $7.4 million in estimated annual operating cost savings, and a 150,000 sq ft lease with $4.5 million in concessions for a Fortune 500 medical device manufacturer's regional operations center relocation accommodating over 1,400 employees.
