Services

The questions we help cities and communities answer are complex, so there are no 'canned' or 'one size fits all' solutions in our business. We customize our products and services to the specific needs and challenges of each client. The depth of our expertise provides us with a unique strategic vision to help cities' leaders address the most challenging issues. While the breadth of our experiences provides us with the practical know-how to take ideas from concept to implementation, we understand the diverse interests involved in redevelopment consulting -- from city officials to citizens, developers, consultants, technical experts, lawyers, architects, engineers, investment bankers, real estate appraisers, and transportation agencies. We have earned a reputation for balancing these diverse interests.

Community Investment & Improvement

In 1979, RSG started providing community and economic development services to a few clients.  More than thirty years later, improving the social and economic wellbeing of communities is not only at the core of our business, it is the driving force behind our passion for the work we do. We take pride in advising public and private clients to help make strategic investments and improvements in their communities.  We like it, and we're good at the nuts and bolts of it:  planning new projects, analyzing real estate, implementing specific plans, financing redevelopment, soliciting developers, and helping acquire property.
