James Lima Planning + Development

JLP+D is committed to helping public and private sector clients create more vibrant, equitable, and resilient places. We work at all scales, from single development parcels to institutional campuses, downtown and waterfront districts to regional economies. We provide planning, policy, real estate, and economic advisory services for downtown revitalization, real estate value creation, great placemaking, and shaping impactful public policy.

Through its focus on the economics of placemaking, JLP+D helps develop innovative approaches that leverage public-private partnerships to address economic, social, and environmental imperatives and generate maximum public benefit. Our aim is to ensure the long-term success of urban regeneration investments — from planning and development of former industrial waterfronts and downtown district growth strategies to cultural arts facilities development, adaptive reuse of historic properties, and increasing access to economic opportunity and affordable housing.
