What is a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment?

Category: Commercial Real Estate

A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment may be recommended if a Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental concerns requiring further investigation. It often involves soil, groundwater, or other testing performed by qualified environmental professionals.

Not every commercial property requires a Phase II assessment. The need depends on the property’s history, previous uses, and findings from earlier investigations.
