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.
