Planning

GLW has developed a reputation for creative, practical, and functional land planning and design solutions that will integrate a new project into the fabric of the existing community.  Project success comes from a team approach employing open collaboration with our clients to balance their development program with innovative plans that meet local regulatory requirements.  We are process-oriented and prepare land use, engineering and environmental feasibility studies to realize a property’s highest and best use.

  •  We are committed to utilizing practical engineering practices and modern land planning principals to result in practical, sustainable and environmentally responsible design.
  •  Identify key components of a property’s potential to guide our designers toward an efficient, economical and marketable solution.
  •  We have developed and continually maintain effective collaboration among multiple stakeholders including residential communities, private developers, and state and local reviewing agencies throughout the region.
