​​Polaris is committed to providing quality, responsive services to developers, architects, engineers, real estate firms, attorneys and financial institutions throughout the United States. As a solution-orientated firm, Polaris understands the needs of clients and recognizes the importance of getting the deal done in an environmentally-acceptable manner. With more than 43 years of combined professional experience coupled with our innovative approach provides us with the opportunity to help clients achieve both their internal goals as well as meet their project budget and deadlines.​  Polaris's team of technical experts and industry partners stay abreast of the latest regulatory guidelines with current technology and share our knowledge with clients throughout the process.

 

Real-estate management and transaction, development projects, storage tank facilities and industrial properties often encounter operational or historical environmental issues that require a pricey investigation and possibly corrective action. Polaris's goal is to assist clients with identifying and aggressively pursuing funding options from state reimbursement funds, insurance policies, local financing options, and Brownfields grants to offset potentially expensive project compliance costs. Our experience proves our expertise in providing funding solutions and cost recovery strategies for clients, facilitating property transactions, and increasing property values by mitigating environmental liability costs.
