About Charles Hunter Coates

Ever since he found the firm in the year 2005, Mr. Charles Hunter Coates III ensured his active participation in the development, redevelopment and repositioning of Hyperion's real estate investments.

His role also includes asset management, financial reporting, and strategic planning for the firm. Being a sole proprietor of the firm, Charles Hunter Coates III has incorporated the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) system to facilitate the company structure. IPD, as suggested by its name, is a business approach that brings along all the business restraints and professionals to be a part of the same entity, coming along with common goals and incentives. If we talk about the major difference between the IPD approach and the design, bid, and build approach, IPD approach brings along all the different functions and processes to one entity, without impacting their autonomy. All the different team partners will become a part of the new entity. The same new entity will then enter into a single contract with the respective developer to fund, design, and build the development project with common corporate governance, incentives, penalties, and mutual agreements on its objectives and goals. Looking into the IPD approach from the developer’s perspective, it will simplify the development process whilst bringing along big savings on cost as compared to the conventional fixed employment company structure.
