Get to know us

Our team combines data-driven analysis, financial expertise, and a community focus to solve land use and development problems for public, private and nonprofit clients across the country.

Who We Are

We provide analytical, strategic and financial consulting services in support of high-impact development plans and projects. We establish plans, strategies and partnerships that empower our clients to achieve their real estate, community and economic development goals.

Why We Do It

Our mission is to help our clients create vibrant and livable communities through the practice of real estate economics, development finance and urban planning.

We believe in:

  • Thoughtful development that supports economic mobility, well-being of residents, sustainability, revitalization, multimodal transportation, and quality urban design
  • Objective analysis that empowers clients to make informed decisions and achieve ambitious goals
  • Fair, judicious use of public resources for publicly beneficial outcomes

We seek to influence the public agenda, create awareness of important issues, and advance best practices for the field.

We believe high-quality livable places should not be reserved for the highest earners. Our firm is committed to holistic growth strategies that avoid displacement and prioritize healthy outcomes for all communities. As planners and consultants, we see it as our duty to recognized barriers to equitable development and help remove them, using development as a tool to improve lives, especially for those with less access to opportunity.
