Development in service of the commonweal
Community Impact Development is a consultancy purposefully designed to accelerate the collective liberation of latent value within neglected places and disregarded spaces.
Our Practice
Two substrates · Two acts
Built Infrastructure
The environment as a set of decisions that place records: what gets made, where, and for whom.
Services- Program management and advisory for complex developments, including site evaluation, assemblage, entitlements, and land banking
- Mixed-use and missing-middle urban infill
- New construction, adaptive reuse, and historic preservation across commercial and residential
Civic Infrastructure
The institutions, rules, and capacity through which a place governs its own development and the quality of life it produces.
Services- Development structures layered with tax increment, tax credit, opportunity zone, and PACE financing
- Social program policy, design, and implementation measured by experimental and quasi-experimental evaluation
- Fiscal and management oversight of publicly funded programs
Capital Formation
Putting investment where it compounds within buildings, businesses, and the people who run them. The field often defaults to physical capital; we hold human capital to the same standard.
Services- Capital stack structuring and placement
- Impact investment design and raises across investors, allocators, funds, and ventures
- Workforce and skills-based training systems
- Growth strategy and entrepreneur support spanning non-dilutive funding, debt and equity capital
Constituency Formation
The body a decision serves, and the body with standing to shape it. We seek franchise over sentiment with participation that carries weight in the outcome.
Services- Coalition building that convenes, organizes, and seats residents, institutions, and investors
- Community-driven planning that binds targeted investment to community priorities
- Place keeping and access campaigns that widen who holds standing in development decisions
Each engagement produces the analysis it requires — asset maps, planning studies, business and capital plans — and the team assembled to deliver it.
Our mission is to harness untapped potential through inclusive partnership and strategic intervention that empowers communities to drive positive sustainable change.
