Our Approach
We believe...
We believe every space can and should be a great place. We believe that communities benefit from more humane, inviting, and lively places to be. We believe everyone is welcome in public space and that good activity drives out bad activity.
Our Strategy of Place
Understanding how meaning is generated by a place is a key component of placemaking. The crux of a successful place is that it is valuable to its users. This value can take many different forms, beyond just the traditional understanding of economic benefits.
Positive & Useful Experiences: If people have positive and useful experiences in a place, then they will
More Use: Use it more frequently. By frequently using the space they establish
Habits and routines: These habits are the foundation that support enterprise and
Relationships: between people and the space itself. These relationships are non-portable and create locational
Value: A place where people want to be is the essence of real estate’s “location, location, location” value proposition"
Working Holistically
At The Musicant Group, we focus specifically on how the whole of a place is made up of the relationships between the physical elements, management and stewardship, and the events and activities which occur there. When creating great places - those which are meaningful, adaptable, and useful to people inhabiting the space- consider each of these elements, and how they influence one another.
