We aspire to be an instrument of change
A Seat at the Table
Our commitment to community influences every aspect of the development process—from the way we engage, to education and training programs, to the procurement of subcontractors and vendors. For us, this means providing entry points for people of all backgrounds to participate in community development and share in the positive outcomes.
Before we begin a project, we reach out to neighborhood groups to gather input and hear their feedback. We seek to honor the community’s history and culture and shape our developments to meet the needs and goals of residents and businesses.
This could mean creating micro-retail options to put space within reach of small entrepreneurs. Or creating pathways for jobsite training for workers just entering the construction trade. Or building affordable workforce housing. Community engagement will continue to be a guiding principle on each one of our projects, and we hope to set new industry standards through consistent implementation.
By the Numbers
Honoring community through local voices
We commissioned more than a dozen local artists—many of whom were born, raised, and have lived in the Central Area their entire lives—to create a collection of permanent artworks to be displayed at Jackson Apartments for all to enjoy.
