Housing is a product that has many shapes – and opportunities. It’s both science and magic.
emma + co builds neighborhoods and communities that appeal to clients and potential buyers. We leverage and evaluate real-time, analytics and research so that you know your demographic better than anyone. Next, we utilize the industry’s best processes and practices to design profitable projects that benefit a developer’s financial and intrinsic needs, paving the way for the next, great housing opportunity that needs both science and magic.
We plan for dynamic communities. And we do that with a holistic approach that starts with our natural curiosity paired with our industry expertise. We ask how a lot – how to develop this land, how to use this space, how to ignite community here.
We develop different approaches for land planning, envision opportunities, and then assess possible community planning strategies. We then partner with municipalities, and communities and government agencies to plan, strategize and implement initiatives.
In the case of community planning, we understand how to deliver; most importantly though, we understand that patience, time, and tenacity that it takes to work through the politics with and for the stakeholders.
From concept to closing, our team is capable of consulting on and with all phases of development. We see ourselves as your partner, coaching you and your team with our deep and wide industry experience to guarantee the smoothest, most valuable transaction possible.
After more than 30 years in this industry, it’s safe to say we know this business – past and present market realities, opportunities, and threats, and future opportunities. We are constantly seeking a different approach that is not only strong and smart, but also maximize an asset’s possibility and creativity.
emma + co is a development consulting matchmaker with the experience and network to curate the right match between our partners and our clients which then maximize returns.
Our matchmaking power is a one-two punch: first, identify; then, align. Identify project and financial opportunities; complementary skills and relationship opportunities. Then, we match – align buyers with sellers, capital with developers, and niche developers with joint venture partners.
Matchmaking at its core is really about identifying goals, financial objectives, acquisition needs, and then the partnership that will make it happen to maximize the asset’s potential for the client.
At its core, matching is about great relationships. No one understands that better than our team.
We respect just how important it is to review and assess property development performance – and the numbers driving it.
Which is why we are deeply involved in the respective processes responsible for pitching, placing, and keeping capital. We partner regularly with lenders and lenders’ underwriters to assess properties for our clients or for the institution. A go-to source for any and all project underwriting, we can endorse a project for a lender and we can run all the financials setting you up for success early in the process.
