Balancing community wants and developer needs
Founded in 1995 in Alexandria, VA, Artemel & Associates, Inc. is an international team of community builders and placemakers with expertise in real estate development, economic analysis, community revitalization, and public outreach. We provide consultancy and support services for real estate development projects that shape vibrant, thriving mixed-use neighborhood communities that benefit residents, developers, and governments.
OUR APPROACH
We start by listening
First, we listen to what the community wants and the developer needs. This is crucial in understanding how to bridge stakeholder interests, resulting in a project that benefits everyone.
Our holistic, collaborative approach is grounded in research to understand neighborhood dynamics, residential requirements, and community objectives. Our experts thoroughly understand and can quickly analyze the planning processes and zoning regulations of a project.
The best projects are finely crafted through collaboration and good will. We help cultivate the joint efforts that shape a project’s path to approval. We open the conversation between developer and neighborhood, and proactively guide project design to deliver real-world solutions that meet the goals of all stakeholders. By engaging with each stakeholder, we find areas of agreement and advise on the step-by-step development of feasible projects that
√ contribute positively to the livability of the neighborhood or community
√ provide economic returns to the developer
√ meet governmental regulatory constraints
