Transforming spaces through strategic development and community focus
Development Planning
Successful development planning leverages private sector investment to create vibrant places. We work with cities and developers to plan projects that not only meet market needs, but also preserve the quality of life, maintain the character of existing neighborhoods and landscapes, and provide returns on investment for property owners and community members alike. Great development creates returns for cities, developers, property owners, and residents by focusing on the following:
- Prioritize infill & urban redevelopment first
- Apply new urbanist principles for walkability, density & mixed use, whenever possible
- Preserve open and agricultural space
- Plan for green space & trail networks
Maximizing potential: from small lots to community master plans
