FIRM BACKGROUND

Downtown Works is passionate about downtowns, and skilled in all phases of retail consulting for large urban markets, smaller business improvement districts, and private developers. We have created strategies for downtowns, developers, and universities in cities across the U.S., including Philadelphia, Nashville, Austin, and Seattle. Our broad experience extends to strategies and concepts in close collaboration with developers, civic groups, urban planners, and design professionals.

To make retail a success for individual business operators, their landlords, and the wider community, Downtown Works incorporates a well-articulated strategy and a plan to get it implemented.  It’s the implementation that sets us apart from others and that gets results.  In some cases, implementation means that our team prospects for operators, cultivating the tenant mix for a given project.  In other cases we train advocates to steward the retail strategy developed for their community.
