TABLE OF CONTENTS "Location, location, location." Although everyone in the real estate business is familiar with that phrase, I never realized the extent of its significance until Feng Shui expanded my knowledge. Ideally, we are involved in reviewing various properties during the site selection process to anticipate potential issues, helping to save time, effort, and money and increasing the potential for success. This process would apply to land for a new building site, as well as an existing building, facility, office space, residence, or apartment that the client wants to rent or purchase. As always, the analysis of various sites will be based on what we have learned during the information-gathering meeting about the client and the Primary Purpose of the building or space. In that context, here are some of the issues we consider.
A traditional Feng Shui analysis of a building location might look at the topography of the surrounding area and describe the specific site as a positive or negative part of an animal or natural feature. The site might be called the eye of a dragon, the muscle of a clam, or the nose of a tiger. Although these references are metaphors for the energy of the site, they are unfamiliar in our culture, and you will be more comfortable with a logical analysis of a site's energy.
The approach to a site and the neighborhood in which it is located begins to establish a psychological image of the destination.
