Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. has made the 2014 ENR Top 200 Environmental Firms List for the second year in a row. The list ranks environmental service providers from around the world based on annual revenue. Partner jumps to 170th place, up 13 places from last year’s ranking of 184 in 2013. Many in the commercial real estate industry consider Partner a leading authority on Phase I Environmental Site Assessments.
Services included in the scoring range from environmental due diligence to the design and construction of treatment and remediation systems.
Partner’s environmental consulting practice, with core capabilities in Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, expanded significantly over the last year.
ENR indicated that the industry as a whole enjoyed healthy growth in the last 12 months, stating that “spurred by the accelerating need for environmental services in the oil-and-gas boom and growth overseas, the Top 200 Environmental Firms managed to hike their revenue nearly 4%, to $53.7 billion, in 2013 and reverse last year’s down trend.”
Environmental risk management is becoming a greater concern across the Commercial Real Estate industry, from lenders to investors. With increasing regulatory pressures – through recent changes to the OCC’s CRE Lending Handbook, EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiry rule and ASTM’s E1527-13standard for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, for example – and a rebounding property market, we expect the demand for our environmental consulting and remediation services will only continue to increase.

For commercial real estate professionals, California Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130 Housing) represents a tangible win for project efficiency and investment confidence. By streamlining the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process, the legislation helps remove long-standing entitlement delays that have historically slowed housing development and constrained capital deployment. The result is faster approvals, clearer timelines, and greater predictability in project execution — key advantages for developers, lenders, and investors delivering much needed housing stock in the region.
