For Municipalities
Our residential/commercial properties create immediate tax benefits by stabilizing assets, bringing underutilized assets back to life (vacant commercial buildings) and attracting highly desirable demographic profiles to municipalities. There is no reason to create things that are going to die. It is merely a rethinking of the strategy of the software.
Municipalities play a critical role - they basically control the software through both zoning and building code.
Core benefits of innovative properties such as Mission Lofts and E-Lofts:
1) Turns a hole within a community into a whole community.
2) Attracts and supports a diverse population.
3) Flexibility provides stability of occupancy and tax base.
4) Strengthens communities by being generators of positive activity and generators of small business (the engine of America).
5) Demonstrates that what we may overlook can have the most potential.
6) Increases the diversity and attractiveness of both housing and office options for prospective residents and workers.
7) Reduces traffic demand and single vehicle trips.
8) Building Reuse is the greenest form of development saving an imputed average of 30 years of energy by repurposing the existing structure.
9) No one is being asked to predict the future. We simply facilitate it.
10) It’s the coolest thing ever.
