Site Planning, Design, And Development

Build

Planning & engineering new development projects of all scales and densities for lasting value.

At Bolton & Menk, our land development practice serves some of the most rapidly growing and evolving communities in the nation. We closely track the dynamics and needs of changing real estate markets, while remaining committed to developing great places to live, work, and play. We have a thorough understanding of the standards, processes, and detailed submittal requirements for most major urban centers, small towns, and rural communities.

We specialize in designing all scales and densities of residential uses from multi-family mixed-use infill projects to single-family residential communities with a variety of housing types. We use the latest software capabilities to integrate vertical and horizontal engineering with earth work and cost analytics to assure predictable budget compliance from utility layout to landscape design. Our team has an excellent track record with submittals and permitting and a thorough understanding of all aspects of building placement and subdivision submittals. The highest value of parcel of property cannot be attained without the entitlements necessary to allow development to the highest and best use. Recognizing this, Bolton & Menk specializes in property rights cases, providing guidance and expertise in rezoning of property for our clients. We also bring expertise in annexations, development agreements, Special Tax Districts, and other land management vehicles, which allow development entities to achieve value.

Bolton & Menk also provides planning, design, and engineering services for hundreds of successful commercial buildings and mixed-use projects. Striking a balance between art and science, our creativity is strongly rooted in collaboration between clients and designers to create enduring and memorable places. Our team is with you from planning and design to the construction and post construction phases.

We coordinate with all design disciplines and contractors to help build a successful project. Every project team is set up in a cross-disciplinary manner with engineers and designers working side-by-side from site analysis through construction administration. Our partners and principals are personally involved in each project to ensure the highest levels of design, innovation, and mentorship. We are client and family-centric, and our firm’s commitment to a culture of inclusion, diversity, professional support, and work-life balance is vital to our ongoing success and legacy.

We have a thorough understanding of the standards, processes, and detailed submittal requirements for major urban centers–from the Midwest plains to the coast. Our long-standing relationships with many premier real estate developers help bridge the gap between the public and private sectors.
