We help our clients anticipate and manage change in culture, values, demographics and the marketplace. We specialize in strategies for the revitalization, repositioning and intensification of communities, real estate assets and real estate development. And, we translate those strategies into plans and designs that respond to a wider range of expectations, while managing the full planning and design process by the project team members. We believe that disruption in real estate markets creates transformational value. And for those that see clearly, this disruption is a unique opportunity for wealth creation and an enhanced quality of life. Our value to clients has always been the ability to conceptualize a visionary, but practical, strategy that creates enduring value... while leading teams to embrace innovation and excellence within the confines of real-world constraints.

phoenixRISING was founded, in part, by veterans initially focused on housing for homeless veterans. PhoenixRISING recognized that the resources, skills, and technologies they bring to bear on this issue allows them to also address the additional markets of Workforce Housing and Small Homes. Cities and communities have begun to appreciate the absolute imperative of having a sustainable model for the attraction and retention of a diverse resident population. The expansion of the mission from homeless to affordable housing and small homes gives phoenixRISING the financial resources to continue its core mission and create a sustainable business model. Our model for homeless housing recognizes that housing is only the first step. A true sustainable model requires not only housing... but also healing, training and employment... in collaboration with Fortune 500 companies who need a new skilled workforce.

SUTTLE MINDLIN (now MINDLINconsulting) was an award-winning international planning and architectural firm that provided a wider range of non‐traditional skills and intellectual flexibility to meet the evolving demands of changing societies... and the complex needs of our clients. The firm understood the built environment as a communication medium through which it connected our clients’ values with customers, employees, and society. The firm’s approach to design was always “strategically” driven to ensure that effort made, and money spent, on making great buildings and interiors of comfort and delight... also addressed strategies, branding, function, and financial returns that created enduring value. The firm offered clarity of vision and exciting, yet practical solutions, to complex projects.
