The gap
Most owners do not need a market study. They need an answer on a parcel.
Advanced air mobility creates a new question for large-format California real estate: could this parcel support a future vertiport use, and what would make the site viable or difficult?
Heaps Advisory focuses on early, practical analysis before owners commit to legal, engineering, or full diligence spend.
What gets evaluated
Early diligence across the issues that can stop a site.
Airspace constraints
Initial obstruction and surrounding-use review to identify practical aviation constraints before deeper engineering work.
Financial feasibility
Basic economics, comparable signals where available, and risk factors that affect whether further diligence is justified.
