Real estate development for a sustainable future

I work as a real estate developer, broker and project manager promoting homes, development projects and land use policies that bring us closer to a sustainable future. Specifically, I specialize in the following:

  • Mixed-Use Urban Infill Development - Projects that promote walkable urban living, New Urbanist ideals, and integrated communities
  • Transit Oriented Development - Projects centered around Rail Runner and other public transit stations
  • Conservation Development - Projects that permanently conserve open space and limit sprawl, tract housing, and strip malls
  • Cohousing and Ecovillages - Projects designed to directly promote and support community
  • Green Homes - Homes that conserve energy, water and other natural resources

I also do research and consulting on smart growth, localization, sustainable development, community building, democratic process and national service.

Plaza Contenta

Plaza Contenta I am currently selling and leasing commercial and residential units in Plaza Contenta, a mixed-use neighborhood center in Santa Fe. Please call me at (505) 490-2680 or follow the link for more information.

Background

I have a business degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management and a public policy degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Although I am independent of an office or institute of sustainable development, I am very familiar with both the theory and practice of smart growth, sustainability, community, housing and land use policies, having studied them and worked to implement them. I know how to work with a broad range of clients and stakeholders to produce results. I have worked as a project manager on multi-family "cohousing" in Massachusetts and on a mixed-use infill project in New Mexico, among other projects. More information on my background can be found here.

Real estate

I am a real estate developer and project manager based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Please give me a call if you have capital you are looking to invest in a real estate development project that moves us closer to a sustainable future, or a piece of property you think may be appropriate, or just a great idea. I would like to help you bring a great project to fruition. I work primarily in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque areas in New Mexico, but will consider other locations where there is an exciting opportunity.

I am also a commercial and residential real estate broker with SGProperties LLC, a real estate development company headquartered in Albuquerque, NM.

I recently gave a presentation on the real estate development process for communities. You can find the slides here. Please contact me if you would assistance developing your community.

Democratic Development

I have flushed out an idea I call "Democratic Development" that I believe is a path to an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable world and that I would like to see disseminated and implemented. Please follow the link for more information.
