Approach
We specialize in small- and large-scale mixed-use housing and economic development projects, serving the needs of visionary developers and public agencies alike. Our planning process begins with understanding our clients’ needs, as well as the physical, human, and political environment. Our approach is to carefully consider opportunities and constraints to achieving feasible and sustainable development, by maximizing land use compatibility and minimizing conflicts with the natural environment. In all cases, we collaborate with design, engineering, legal, and environmental science professionals in order to provide a complete and balanced approach to urban planning, project entitlement, and construction management.
