SII

What SII does

SII (legal entity Sii LLC, operating as SII) is a Denver, Colorado-based real estate advisory and owner's representative firm founded in 2013 by Eric Shafran. The company provides owner's representation services to developers, municipalities, and non-profits, managing the feasibility, project planning, design, and construction phases of development projects. Its stated value proposition is owner-focused representation that controls people, process, schedule, and finances so clients achieve functional and aesthetic goals without project management burden. The primary customer segment is developers, with municipalities and non-profits as secondary verticals.

The firm's service offering is delivered through project-based consulting engagements rather than any technology platform. Core deliverables include feasibility studies, project planning exercises, and day-to-day direction during design and construction. There is no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, patents, or data infrastructure disclosed; the company's intellectual capital resides in its team's domain experience. The founding team includes Eric Shafran (Founder and Principal, formerly a Director at Romani Group/ICON Venue Group and a Financial Analyst at Goldman Sachs in public real estate equities) and Cord Green (Financial Analyst, formerly at Trimont Real Estate Advisors on the Primary Asset Management team).

SII operates as a bootstrapped, privately held LLC with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company. Its go-to-market is direct, relationship-based sales targeting developers, municipalities, and non-profits in the United States, with all known personnel and operations based in Denver. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured on a quote-based, project-specific basis typical of professional services engagements. The company maintains a minimal public footprint consisting of a website (siibuilds.com), a general contact email, and a single phone line.

Broad incumbents

• JLL Project and Development Services: JLL's Project and Development Services division delivers owner's representation, project management, and development advisory across commercial real estate. It is a broad incumbent that competes with SII for the same owner-side advisory work, particularly with enterprise and institutional clients.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm offering program management and owner's advisory services on large-scale real estate and development projects. It is a broad incumbent competing with SII for larger municipal, civic, and developer-led owner's rep engagements.
• Arcadis: Arcadis is a global design and consultancy firm offering project management and owner's advisory services across real estate, infrastructure, and urban development. It is a broad incumbent whose owner's rep capabilities overlap with SII's development and construction advisory scope.
• CBRE Advisory Project Management: CBRE's Advisory Project Management practice offers owner's representative and project advisory services as part of its full-service commercial real estate platform. It overlaps with SII's owner-side advisory scope but competes primarily on scale, geography, and integrated brokerage relationships.
• Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB): Rider Levett Bucknall is a global construction consultancy providing cost management, project management, and owner's advisory services. It is comparable to SII in delivering owner-side advisory and project oversight, though at a much larger, multi-region scale.

Direct peers

• Anser Advisory: Anser Advisory is a national owner's representation and project management firm serving aviation, healthcare, education, and commercial clients. It is directly comparable to SII in offering dedicated owner's rep services managing schedule, budget, and design/construction oversight on behalf of owners.
• Turner & Townsend: Turner & Townsend is a global professional services firm providing project management, cost consulting, and owner's advisory services across real estate and infrastructure. It competes with SII for the same owner's rep and project advisory engagements, particularly on larger and multi-region mandates.
• CAA-ICON (formerly ICON Venue Group): CAA-ICON is a leading owner's representation and project management firm specializing in sports venues, entertainment, and cultural facilities. It is a direct peer because SII's founder was previously a Director there and SII offers the same owner's rep service model on development and construction projects.
• Hill International (a Global Project Management Group company): Hill International is a construction consulting and project management firm specializing in owner's representative services for complex real estate, transportation, and infrastructure programs.
