Who is DCI?

Established in 1991, Development Concepts, Inc. (DCI) is a planning and development services company that works with private, not-for-profit, and public sector entities who are seeking a positive change in their respective communities. DCI's mission is to create innovative planning and development solutions that are responsive to a community's needs and, just as important, can be implemented. Within the past ten years, DCI has facilitated or been involved with more than $600 million of new development activity. DCI's commitment to top-notch service and quality development has produced a high level of satisfaction from clients.

To DCI, planning is more than just a routine, regulatory process and development is more than just the creation of physical structures. Together, they are the value-added evolution that ultimately leads to the accomplishment of a specific goal. Whether it relates to real estate, community, economic, or organizational objectives, development (by way of planning) is the progression of concrete results.

With decades of experience in both the public and private sectors, the management and staff of DCI have gained a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and possible barriers surrounding local development objectives. Team expertise spans from initial visioning and planning steps to the implementation of various residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments. More importantly, DCI knows how to plan in the context of a community process. DCI's philosophy is that innovative planning inevitably leads to superior development solutions that enhance urban environments and build community. DCI bridges the gap between the planning and development professions.

DCI can provide professional services at nearly every point in the planning or development process. From identifying initial opportunities and market feasibility, to structuring detailed financial packages, to assembling a complete, well-rounded development team. DCI has continually assisted communities in moving difficult planning and development initiatives forward.
