REDI Scores
Our Approach
REDI (Readiness Evaluation for Development and Investment) Sites is the new national standard in assessing site readiness for U.S. office and industrial projects. Administered by the Site Selectors Guild, REDI Sites provides a searchable database of available sites that have undergone rigorous assessment set by the world's foremost group of site selection consultants.
How It Works
REDI Scores Methodology
Businesses and economic development organizations can register for the site readiness program. Applicants will submit various documents and information to be assessed and given a score and designation level (bronze, silver, gold or platinum) based on the site's level of readiness as determined by the Site Selectors Guild. Sites that don't meet the bronze level will receive a designation as an emerging site.
The designation is valid for one calendar year, and if further actions are taken to increase the site's readiness for development, the site can be resubmitted and redesignated.
Designation benefits:
- Listing of your site in a national database, instantly searchable by any SSG member
- Nationally recognized designation for site readiness and include in your marketing materials
- Know how to level up site designation and reapply when more due diligence is completed
- Benefit from the Guild's own marketing of the program to corporations
Site Rating System
The REDI Score
Every site is rated on a 10-point readiness index measuring infrastructure, zoning, market demand, and development potential.
8.0 - 8.9
High-quality sites with strong fundamentals and clear pathways to development. Minor preparatory steps remain before shovel-ready status.
7.0 - 7.9
Solid opportunities with good market positioning. Some infrastructure or entitlement work needed to reach full development readiness.
6.0 - 6.9
Emerging sites with strong long-term potential. Requires foundational work on utilities, zoning, or access before development begins.
6.0 - 6.9
