Normalize the facts before ranking sites
Record source, date, acreage basis, zoning authority, frontage, utilities, access status, environmental information, taxes, asking structure, and known studies for each property.
Separate verified information from listing language and assumptions so the comparison does not reward the site with the boldest marketing.
Compare usable programs instead of raw acreage
Place the same realistic prototype on each site using its grades, setbacks, stormwater, parking, loading, fire access, utilities, circulation, and neighboring conditions.
A smaller efficient site can outperform a larger constrained one, while a visible site can lose value if access or configuration does not support the operation.
Use traffic and location evidence for the correct question
Traffic counts describe roadway activity, not automatic demand. Define customer origins, trip purpose, directions, peak periods, competition, labor, deliveries, referrals, and other factors specific to the use.
Commission independent market and traffic work when those assumptions affect material capital decisions.
Compare total cost, schedule, risk, and control
Evaluate purchase or lease economics, site work, professional fees, approvals, construction, financing, carrying cost, delay, operating performance, and exit flexibility.
Seven Hills can be placed into this framework using its reported 6.71 acres, C-3 designation, frontage, traffic context, owner-direct terms, and clearly labeled verification needs.
