The Capstan Group, LLC

The Capstan Group, LLC is an economic development firm that focuses on building lively, livable, and
diverse cities, developing solid organizations, and building the self-sufficiency of individual people.
The Capstan Group brings to its project extensive management and business experience, a
meticulousness about quality, and a "hands-on" approach to projects in these areas. Our firm offers
clients the core beliefs that:

Cities are remarkable: Cities are brought alive by people, buildings, streets and their markets.
Each city has its own charm, and its own pulse. The best economic development projects
reinforce the unique essence of a city, take into account the local market, and build sustainable
drivers that connects city blocks to encourage movement, development, and sustainability.
Sustainability is vital: Economic development, organizational structures and systems, and self-
sufficiency should be carefully planned and self-sustaining in the long term.
Cities need catalysts: Certain institutions, such as healthcare and educational uses can
function as very important catalysts for urban growth within an urban area. We strongly believe
in identifying the institutional assets from which to build when approaching any economic
development project.

Whether the redevelopment of four city blocks or working with a developer to secure public approvals
for a mixed-income historic rehab housing project, our work is committed to revitalizing and sustaining
cities and improving the lives of the people within. We enjoy structuring, systematizing, and moving
projects forward, and approach each one with a commitment toward a sense of collective purpose, a
diligence for accurate and quality work, proven economic development principles, and a healthy
respect for creativity. We also believe in creating tangible, measurable, and sustainable results.
