Founded in 2019, Envision Growth is a public health–driven real estate development firm building healthy people and communities.
We develop new housing, rehabilitate existing properties, and pursue commercial, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse development opportunities. We translate public health research into practical real estate development decisions.
OUR APPROACH
We evaluate development opportunities based on market demand, site conditions, costs, and financial feasibility. We also draw on public health research to consider how a property's location, design, use, and ownership may influence the people who live, work, or spend time there. These considerations inform how we develop projects, build partnerships, and structure financing.
Development
We identify and evaluate real estate opportunities, then lead projects through planning, financing, design, approvals, and construction. Depending on the property, that may involve new construction, rehabilitation, redevelopment, or adaptive reuse.
Partnerships
We work with property owners, developers, municipalities, architects, contractors, and community organizations to advance real estate projects. Depending on the opportunity, we lead development or serve as a co-developer or joint venture partner. We build teams around what each project requires and how the property will serve the people who use it.
Capital
We evaluate development costs, projected income or sales, and available financing options. Depending on the project, we work with lenders, investors, and public or philanthropic partners to assemble financing that makes the development financially viable.
