Thank you for your interest in CityGate consulting services. This advisory business is a result of our experience with originating, structuring and investing in transit oriented development (TOD), brownfields and urban infield property. The economic and demographic changes in the US market are creating unprecedented demand for development in these areas. The successful creation of sustainable, urban, mixed use, pedestrian and transit friendly communities requires a level of integration of the public sector infrastructure and services with private development that has not been traditional in the US. We have observed that the biggest issue to successfully negotiating these agreements has been a lack of understanding on both parties involved. This lack of technical knowledge and cultural differences between the public and private sectors exacerbates extremely complicated transactions.
CityGate’s aim is to be the strategic advisor of choice for public agencies that want to maximize the value and efficiency of public assets in a manner that creates long term revenue streams and is used to leverage private investment in the creation of sustainable communities.
