In 2016, we expanded our capabilities to introduce DREAM Development. Our real estate development and consulting arm was created to change the equity lens in a rapidly changing industry. DREAM is engaging to fill the void left by inequitable planning by offering a new, inclusive perspective on neighborhood and community development. Our practice specializes in mixed-income and mixed-use residential and commercial projects.
DREAM Development enhances investments by maximizing our ability to help build stronger neighborhoods. As a vertically integrated design and development company, our clients and partners encounter synergies with our cross-disciplinary expertise.
