Location is most important factors affecting viability and feasibility ,physical and legal attributes of a property project are evaluated in relation to location E.g. zoning, topography or terrain, infrastructure, and skyline of the city.
Three level of location attributes :
1.       The Site :  the internal space planning of the site and its immediate surroundings.
2.       The Situs:  the project’s situs characteristics: the relationship between the site and its use and the total surroundings, over a given time frame (Andrews, 1971).
3.       The overall area: the overall structure of an area within which the project lies and the interrelationships within a community’s land use pattern.

Project location analysis may consider:

1.       Availability of raw materials
2.       Situs Analysis:
a.       identification of the activities in the area
b.      study of the nature of the associations between these activities
c.       analysis of the accessibility of the site to the surrounding area
d.      evaluation of the impact of the total area  on the site’s use
3.       Access to labour
4.       Access to markets
5.       Transportation problems
6.       Available government concessions for locating projects in some places
7.       Availability of basic infrastructure or utility services
