Place Foundry

We care about people and places prospering. Many places, businesses, and communities stagnate, decline, or become distressed without a place innovation strategy. Not having a place innovation strategy cultivates the conditions for underperforming land, buildings, and amenities. Place Foundry works with property owners, municipalities, and economic development organizations to implement place development strategies that create places where people want to live, visit, and invest. With thoughtful guidance, places transform under performing land and buildings into magnetic destinations for commerce, housing, learning, and healthy living. Thriving places are not limited to superstar cities. Place Foundry can help you and your community transform into a magnetic destination for learning, commerce, housing, and healthy living. We believe developing vibrant, productive, and inclusive places should not be a mystery or agonizing. When a neighborhood thrives, people are able to learn, play, and pursue work that adds value to others. When commerce thrives, companies are able to retain attract the best talent and add value to the communities and markets they serve. At Place Foundry, we help local markets become productive and thriving centers of prosperity by developing magnetic destinations for learning, commerce, housing, and healthy living. We go beyond vision to ensure strategies for local markets are realized. As a result, the number of stagnating, declining, and distressed centers of commerce and neighborhoods decreases. We use workshops, consulting, and property development to help our partners advance economic and community development strategies in the markets they serve.
