Creating places where people want to be
Who we are
We are an interdisciplinary placemaking and public space management firm dedicated to creating places where people want to be.
What we do
We utilize a holistic and systematic approach to planning, designing and implementing place-based solutions which respond to a community’s nuanced goals, assets and identity.
Who we work with
We partner with value-centered, public, private, and nonprofit organizations and coalitions to improve their spaces and generate shared success for all involved.
Our Services
Through hundreds of projects, we’ve found that the culture of the organization(s) in charge is the number one determinant of a continually successful place. We partner with you to define and achieve your goals by focusing on the dynamic relationships between people and places within your organization (internal) and the place itself (external).
People Service
Aligning the internal workings of your organization(s) to bring our placemaking recommendations to life. Then, building capacity to continually discern and implement value-creating placemaking strategies without ongoing outside support.
Place Service
Identifying who your users are, what they want to experience and how to best deliver those experiences to achieve your goals via design, operations, event, and communications improvements.

“The Musicant Group’s social programming has been an essential ingredient to our leasing program. Their data collection and analysis of how their efforts improve an employer’s ability to attract and retain good employees is used extensively within our leasing efforts, with both new tenants and renewing tenants alike.”
