The 1861 Group

The 1861 Group is a full service economic development consulting firm. Our work spans scales: from regional studies to site-specific analyses. Our work covers everything from impact analyses, feasibility studies, zoning and land use assessments, demand studies, rent forecasting, and geospatial analyses, to broader economic development strategy for municipalities, non-profits, and the private sector. Our expertise lies within the often overlapping spheres of economic development and real estate market analysis. When we don't have expertise in-house, we work with a small network of experts across fields including residential real estate and affordable housing, urban design, marketing, environmental, and infrastructure, and can always line up the right combination of experts for your project.
