A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT FIRM FOCUSED ON
BUILDING GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS
WHAT WE DO
Place Projects is a real estate development and investment firm focused on creating vibrant mixed‑use districts in underutilized urban areas.
Our projects often begin with land assembly, entitlement strategy and district planning, but our role extends well beyond those activities. We navigate complex approvals through consensus building and political advocacy, shape the public realm, curate retail and consumer experiences, and manage the development process from concept through completion. Place specializes in creating authentic mixed‑use environments that generate lasting economic value while strengthening the communities in which they are located.
Our experience spans the full arc of neighborhood creation, from first acquisition to long‑term ownership.
We seek opportunities where thoughtful planning, strategic investment, placemaking, and development execution can create value beyond individual buildings.
“The most valuable real estate is not defined by individual buildings; it’s defined by the neighborhoods those buildings help create.”
- Joe Furst, Place Projects FounderOUR APPROACH
We believe great neighborhoods don’t happen by chance.
The most successful neighborhoods combine proactive planning, activated public spaces, thoughtful merchandising, and contextual development, all working together to create a distinct sense of place.
Our investment strategy focuses on locations where these elements can be combined to unlock long‑term value and create destinations that flourish over time. Rather than pursuing isolated projects, Place seeks opportunities to influence entire districts and create environments that become greater than the sum of their individual parts.
