Who We Work With
We start by listening. What challenges do you need to solve? We get to know you, your needs, and your situation. Then, we apply problem-solving skills, backed by decades of experience in code and zoning and collaboration with municipal agencies, to develop creative strategies forward.
As professionals shaping the built environment of the future, architects often face the challenge of aligning creative vision with existing construction codes. Engaging Metropolis consultants early in the design process provides strategic guidance, and presents innovative design elements in a manner that meets municipal approval standards.

Architects & Engineers
In the wake of the pandemic, building owners nationwide have been forced to re-evaluate their real estate strategies. Shifts in how—and where—people work and shop have significantly impacted the office and retail sectors, leading to reduced occupancy and declining demand.

Building Owners
Not all development opportunities offer equal value—and in some cases, pursuing a project may not be advisable. Rising material and labor costs, along with the heightened risk of construction delays, have increased the complexity and potential exposure of real estate investments.
