Land Planning Consulting

We believe in working with nature, not overpowering it. And we believe in creating a natural sense of space within a building's existing surroundings — the relationship between a building and its environment is elemental.

We also want to make life — and the environment in which people live — better in as many ways as we can. That's why we work closely with everyone a project touches, from developers and zoning boards to environmental groups and community members, believing open communication and consensus is the only way to ensure a project's success. And we consistently make that happen.

Our extensive and widely varied experience makes us the perfect fit for most any project, no matter how challenging. Come to us for all aspects of land development planning and permitting, including...

Here's what our clients are saying...

Steve Ribble and I have worked together on several planning and development projects for my company. One, Ross Manor — a 40,000 sq.ft. assisted living apartment complex — combined three non-developable parcels of land and therefore required a complex permitting process.

Steve's professionalism, credibility, and knowledge of zoning and permitting helped us succeed where others had not.

He communicates very effectively with teams and has an innate ability to motivate people around a common goal, even when, as in this case, our goals were contrary to local zoning guidelines. He made effective presentations to city officials, always demonstrating good judgment, and his ability to listen and to provide fresh insights helped us secure abutter cooperation as well.

I highly — and without qualification — recommend Steve as a client liaison and project manager.
