A salesperson discusses with a buyer the potential advantages of purchasing brownfields for redevelopment.

An owner who rehabilitates a brownfield property can receive tax incentives.

The contaminants in brownfields contain precious metals that can be sold to earn additional income.

Brownfield properties typically have the advantage of existing infrastructure such as roads, utilities, water/sewer servicing, schools, and transit facilities.

Brownfield properties can often be purchased at well below their potential market value.
