About | Town Architects Inc.

Rainmaking

We build teams and relationships that turn vision into reality.

We seed community vision with team building and project management to bring envisioned projects to reality. We employ our experience targeting opportunities for multi-faceted real estate companies to evaluate and refine potential projects into opportunities for client developers and public sector partners. We match developers with community opportunities and assist cities in evaluating development proposals for public/private partnership (P3) ventures.

We leverage longstanding relationships with engineers, architects, attorneys, developers, constructions firms, and collaborating consultants to assemble the best development team for each project. Town Architects Inc. provides development services to plan, organize, and manage public and public/private development projects. We can oversee all aspects of development services - from start to finish - as the leader of a team or provide services for a single issue engagement.
