Gardens Group Development Strategy


Picture
Community - We strive to insure that each project, as proposed, is a clear positive for the local community and that there is strong community connection with the project. This eases the path to project entitlements, increases cooperation with the local municipality and helps to insure the project's long term success. Communities take ownership in and embrace the things they like - the things they see as good for the community.
Picture
Experiences - We seek to deliver to the public something that they can't find online or buy at most retail stores and that thing is real life experiences. Whether it's live music, wine & cheese tastings, hammock swings among the coconut palms, or a unique evening of dining, families and young people today value diverse lifestyle choices and active social places far more highly than they do the simple acquisition of goods. We are intent on delivering to people what we know them to regard as a better quality of life. 
Picture
Sustainability - The term is high sounding, much overused and too often misunderstood. However, it has important meaning for us in terms of favoring park-like spaces, tree canopies and landscape, permeable surfaces, and walkability. We favor these things as much from a practical standpoint as from any sense of obligation to the environment. People clearly prefer places with these characteristics and are drawn to them because of the social comfort they provide. Respect the environment and please people at the same time?  We see it as the absolute win-win.
Picture
Mixed Use - Nothing against grocery-anchored strip centers, big box power centers, or the local regional mall, but if you value the things above (as does every respectable planning body in the U.S.) the only way to deliver on them is with mixed use development. It makes sense for people to live where the amenities are - their restaurants, parks, and entertainment - so that they can enjoy these things without relying on the car to get there. Each part of the mixed use development, (whether it's multi-family, office, hotel, restaurants, etc.) acts to complement and strengthen the other parts.
