OUR COMMITMENTS
DEEP SUSTAINABILITY
We strive to build regenerative buildings in urban infill environments.
DEEP EQUITY
By shifting from debt to equity financing, we share ownership with our partners who design, build and manage.
DEEP CARE
Recognizing our interdependence with others and the wider world, our business is grounded in the well-being of all.
The first 30 years of our development work occurred at the threshold of new urbanist inspired notions of urban renewal, urban infill, and historic renovation. Our founder and president was a first actor and important figure in the revitalization of Madison’s Schenks-Atwood and Basset neighborhoods. In retrospect this work was also on the threshold of an emerging sustainability challenge. We now understand that urban infill is an essential component of sustainability in the built environment.
Our current and future work will continue to focus on urban infill but we intend to push our commitment to sustainability to new thresholds. Our immediate intention is to make passive house multi-family construction our baseline for all future projects. Adding renewable sources of energy to passive house buildings should move us towards buildings that are operationally net zero.
On the more distant horizon is a goal of moving towards true net zero buildings, including both operational and embodied energy use. Net positive micro grid communities emerge then as a real possibility.
Will you join us at this Threshold? If you’re already there, how can we join you?
