Commitment to Collaboration
Real estate development is a local endeavor. One factor we believe sets CIM apart is our focus on getting to know neighborhoods before initiating a project and collaborating with local leaders throughout the process.
In our view, this commitment helps ensure optimal results for our developments and the surrounding communities.

“Our approach to development is about much more than building structures. It is about anticipating the present and future needs of a community, then shaping the built environment that meets those growing needs. We design and build inspiring real estate where people want to live, work and play.”
Ryan Harter
Principal, Co-Head of Development
“A successful development track record is rooted in a culture of vision, discipline, and partnership. We approach each site opportunity and community investment with a long-term mindset, working closely with our partners to navigate the modern complexities of urban infill development. Delivery schedules and fiscal responsibility matters, and the projects we build stand the test of time.”
