MASTER PLANNING & URBAN DESIGN
We see each Building as a "Building in Context". We believe Buildings have a distinct hierarchy and if placed together are compatible in size, architectural language and siting. They are the ultimate embodiment of the Vision and Character of the Development and are an integral part of the land development process.
​
"We take great care in the design for each building and also manage the architectural guidelines for each project where needed. In addition to designing select buildings, we work with a variety of architects and production firms to ensure a beautiful outcome.

We manage and advise on Land Development projects across the spectrum—from small infill sites to extensive Master Planned Communities, Resorts, and Mixed Use Commercial Centres.

We act as the essential Master Design Manager and "Keepers of the Plan" for development projects, ensuring your original vision is never compromised from conception to completion. This service is particularly valuable for our out-of-town and international clients. While our full Land Development Management services are primarily focused within the Alberta context, our vision-driven oversight guides the entire design, approval, marketing, and development process regardless of location.
