The Community Builders is constantly engaged in comprehensive neighborhood revitalization projects including both HOPE VI and large-scale non-HOPE VI projects. We have become adept at managing master planning aimed at the transformation of distressed neighborhoods. The principles of New Urbanism guide the design of our largest developments to create compact, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods that incorporate a mixture of residential, commercial and civic uses. We feel that appropriate design is central to the long-term success and viability of a neighborhood.
In addition to our extensive track record in residential housing development, we have also developed projects that include offices, retail space, and community service functions such as day care, health clinics, and youth programs. Our belief is that within this new funding environment, there exists the potential to create housing that is physically integrated into the surrounding community, draws on broad political and financial support, and allows residents to actively participate in decision-making. We offer a unique combination of experience, skills and problem-solving ability, that, in concert with local governments, residents and the community, can make the most of a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization effort. |
