The Firm
DREAM Collaborative is a Boston-based, award-winning Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) that integrates architecture, planning, and real estate development. With a diverse leadership team and a commitment to equity and innovation, we build stronger communities locally, nationally, and globally.
Founded in 2008 by Greg Minott, AIA, LEED AP and Troy Depeiza, Assoc. AIA, DREAM is nationally recognized for human-centered design, thoughtful planning, and equitable real estate development.
Our integrated model brings architecture, urban planning, and development together under one roof. Grounded in deep sustainability expertise, we lead complex projects across diverse communities and international contexts with technical excellence and cultural fluency.
Our services span the full project lifecycle, from early visioning, feasibility, and stakeholder engagement through design, construction, and long-term asset realization. By aligning strategy, design, and development, we give clients a decisive advantage: a partner who can navigate complexity, reduce risk, and deliver sustainable, equitable outcomes at every scale.
OUR CORE VALUES
- Equity + The Greater Good: We believe architecture can be a tool to help communities thrive.
- Entrepreneurship: We think like an owner and cultivate inventive solutions that raise the bar for everyone.
- Authentic Relationships: We foster well-being through respect, honesty, and treating others as they would like to be treated.
- Uncompromising Excellence: We hold ourselves to high standards of character and never compromise on quality.
We knew from day one that DREAM would be a different kind of firm.
