Our Mission

Guided by core values of integrity, consistent improvement, community building and a commitment to excellence, our team seeks out uniquely located properties and develops durable, high-quality communities. We work closely with local jurisdictions to achieve common goals and enhance neighborhoods. As long-term investors, our focus is on developing projects designed to produce strong returns for investors and reoccurring cash flows.

Strategies

Guided by Smart Growth principles, our in-house architectural team works closely with best in-class consultants to produce elegant mixed use projects featuring multifamily elements. We pay special attention to residential units and amenity design to enhance the tenant experience, foster resident retention, and create strong connected communities. Our land use and architectural design approach encourages rapid submission and careful tracking during the entitlement process. We collaborate with local jurisdictions and contractors and their subcontractors to create sustainable projects that enhance the value of the larger community.

Mixed-Use

For more than 30 years, we have focused on creating unique, sustainable mixed used, master-planned communities. Our approach begins with careful, sustainable, and sensitive land-use planning and project entitlement. Our meticulously designed mixed use projects are designed to embrace the larger community and provide engagement opportunities for local residents and workers.

We work hard to establish a sense of place within our communities through land use planning and landscape architecture. Our public spaces are designed to provide a “third place” away from home and work where the local community can exchange ideas, have fun, and build relationships. Whether a group of joyful children learning from each other while frolicking in the Spectrum’s 32-jet splash pad, college students exploring ideas over brunch at Barking Mad, young couples discovering a local band at Performers Park, or Spectrum residents telling stories about their homeland or their work, we celebrate human connection.

Our multi-family amenity spaces are designed for large community gatherings and more intimate get-togethers, all of which enables our resident to feel connected to the place they call home.

Land Use Planning and Entitlement

HIP Projects, LLC is a strong proponent of creating stronger communities through the successful collaboration on important public and private goals. This often takes the form of integration of transit or transportation facilities, parks, open spaces and flexible streetscapes into the projects, to provide both a successful environment and stable new tax base. Many of the firm’s projects are less than a mile from an existing or planned transit facility, permitting the intelligent concentration of density and services where the automobile is no longer essential for many trips.

Architecture & Design

Successful land use planning seeks out opportunities to create unplanned, unanticipated interactions between people – on the street, at a restaurant, passing through a park, or on the way to work – as a means of building community. This approach – a focus on building community – is a hallmark of the firm’s design philosophy.
