Meet our Founder: Ryan Saunders

The work that we do varies from client to client, city to city but at the core, we want to uncover, support and nurture the people, places and ideas that make your "place" darn good already and provide the resources and opportunities to build on the existing foundation and make it sustainable

.The urban planning/urban revitalization movement has been going strong for multiple decades at this point. There have been some innovations in regard to types of demonstration projects and methodologies but much is still the same.

We are approaching this methodology from a different angle. While a major part of our focus is real estate which does stick to a lot of the more traditional aspects of solving how to people to get to a specific place and what do the surroundings need to look like to encourage them to spend more time there but we see the growth of a city to be more reliant on people.

In our experience we have seen cities go through multiple efforts of working with consultants to create vision plans that sit on a bookshelf and are never put into action. We are focused on the ACTION more than the planning in our work.
