Visionary Planning, Built for What’s Next

A successful master plan is a strategic framework that balances vision with feasibility, considering existing conditions, weighing cost-benefits, and balancing community needs with client goals.

At Shive-Hattery, we integrate decades of expertise in site due diligence, infrastructure, and zoning analysis to craft plans that are both aspirational and achievable. By anticipating potential roadblocks and integrating flexibility for future repurposing, we deliver added value that endures well beyond the initial build.

Expert-Driven Planning with a Broader Reach

Master planning often faces regulatory hurdles, infrastructure constraints, and unforeseen expenses. Shive-Hattery’s multidisciplinary experts are equipped to navigate these complexities, drawing on diverse project experience across various municipalities and regions. We collaborate with public agencies and private developers alike, ensuring each plan meets local regulations while maximizing long-term return on investment.

We also draw on nationally recognized best practices to create well-connected sites that spur growth and community engagement.
