Asset transformation
Brownfields are typically viewed as liabilities that are risky to develop. We see them differently. We see the opportunity to transform brownfield sites into assets that create value for our clients and community.
We approach brownfields as development projects, not costly clean-up jobs. We incorporate clean-up into the overall project to expedite delivery, save our clients money, and turn risks into opportunities. On one project, we used material perceived as unsuitable to create a berm that sheltered new residents from an adjacent rail line and became a park space for the community to enjoy. By having an integrated team with a development focus, we’re able to identify and take advantage of opportunities that leverage costs through all phases from planning, funding, entitlements, and approvals to design, construction, operation, and maintenance. The success of brownfield development is measured by community support and client results. Spaces once perceived as liabilities are full of life and energy. Derelict land is made economically viable and profitable. And the dormant value of once-thriving areas is reclaimed and carried forward for generations to come.
