Real Estate Development, Financing and Community Planning

Real Estate Development--Putting together the pieces of an affordable housing or community development project can be daunting. We have provided expertise to numerous organizations in every stage of the development process--from initial visioning and feasibility to structuring financing to rent-up and operation. Our past work has included projects as varied as housing, a boutique hotel, a homeless drop-in center, a health clinic and a child care center. We have created affordable, mixed income and market rate housing serving diverse residents: families, seniors, and people with special needs.

Financing--Almost every community development strategy involves complex, multi-layered financing. We help organizations maximize resources and sort out the intricacies of project financial structuring.

Community Planning--Inclusive community planning is a foundation for change. We have led numerous planning efforts, both large and small scale.
