Multifamily Portfolio

Mixed-income, mixed-use, and affordable housing, from master planning through construction administration.

Our architects, civil engineers, MEP engineers, and surveyors work on multifamily projects as one team, which keeps the building, the site, and the utilities in step from the first concept to the last inspection.

The work spans affordable housing, mixed-income communities, and mixed-use buildings, with accessible units designed in from the start and exteriors that fit Easton's historic neighborhoods.
