We are committed to projects that contribute to the quality of life in our urban communities.  Our designers work at a variety of scales and for commercial, municipal, healthcare, and non-profit mission-based clients, that own, build and maintain the buildings essential to vibrant, authentic, and sustainable communities.

The Mixed-Use Building Type

We focus on projects that require a deep understanding of the factors necessary for urban developments that integrate retail, housing, entertainment, professional office and parking uses.  Our planners, architects, and interior designers are skilled at developing solutions that yield the highest returns for our clients, yet contribute to the lasting architectural heritage of our cities.

Non-Traditional Partnerships

Our multi-disciplinary approach allows us to integrate program elements that create synergy between businesses and institutions and satisfy traditionally competing interests. Institutions are finding the necessity to combine resources through partnerships to meet their own needs, as well as spur economic development in their “edge” neighborhoods.

Project Funding Solutions

In addition to urban planning and design services, our financial planning strategies can identify funding opportunities through a variety of federal and state programs.  GBBN has utilized historic, new markets, energy and low-income housing tax credits for both our for-profit and non-profit clients.
