Our Approach

is based on proven, real-working examples of how good design, smart planning, and great management come together in a finished product.

Why we do it.

We are passionate about the intersection of people and the public realm. The possibilities are endless when connecting the right mix of design and programming elements to create stimulating environments while combining the know how to make them financially self-sustaining. Our background, process, and open-minded perspective allow us to gage market conditions, and together with a client’s goals, develop a vision that enables community building and value creation.

The Market

Over the past two decades, developers, government agencies, and communities have seen the positive economic and social impacts a well-managed public space, an active town square, or an energized urban district can have.

Today, developers are going beyond urban planning to design and structure the way a space will ultimately be delivered and function. And, they are integrating detailed plans for an active public realm within their development proposals as they see a smoother permitting process, increased value to their brand, and added financial success.
