Consortium Sports Development Group ("SDG") is a division of Consortium Realty Advisors, LLC which specializes in the planning, development, management and marketing of major sporting and recreational facilities.

SDG is directed by David Branch and Neal Freeman, two of Consortium's Senior Principals, who in addition to their extensive backgrounds in both commercial real estate and land investment services also have significant individual track records in the planning and development of sports facilities which are designed  as integral parts of major retail and office  projects (see Principals' profiles below).

SDG's primary focus involves the successful integration of world-class sporting facilities into major mixed-use commercial developments.  These sports and recreation facilities often involve the creation of unique public/private partnerships with colleges, universities and/or municipal governments.  Properly structured, these public/private sports partnerships provide (i) exceptional amenities for the surrounding commercial development (ii) outstanding sports facilities for the college/university/municipal partners and (iii) significant economic development benefits for the entire city and/or county in which they are located, resulting in increased property tax revenues, hotel/motel tax revenues, sales tax revenues and increased tourism spending by players and parents attending tournaments and sporting events at the facility.
