New opportunities are considered based on how each matches up to our defined criteria. The outcome is never pre-determined. We customize every solution based on the community, the place, and the needs of the market. Once a project is selected, we go through an inclusive development process called CityScaping that integrates stakeholders into the project team to maximize solutions in the 4 areas of impact in which we concentrate.

Outcomes
Economic Vitality
Every investment achieves the highest rate of returns in the market. Our projects achieve the highest grade of underwriting standards and the most predictable abundant returns for our stakeholders. Examples of Economic Vitality measurements include: equity returns, tax increases, debt to equity ratio, and pay back periods.
Access to Opportunity
Every development is unique to the people, the culture and the history of the place. No two developments are the same. Each development captures and embraces the rich history of its place and people while redefining its future economic significance. Examples of Authentic Relevance include: buildings restored, Historical aspects revealed, local materials used, architectural transitions made.
