Private Development Group

Lisa Easterwood, CST -  Private Development - Project Manager

Assisting clients with the development of successful projects is paramount to our business.  A major key to a project’s success, both in attaining the overall vision and contributing to its financial success, is to start a project off on the right foot.  “I approach each one of my client’s projects with an open mind.  This is grounded on thorough research, drilling down to the client’s key issues from the inception.”  This approach fosters solid partnerships and cultivates a positive client relationship beginning with trust.  This provides a solid foundation for a project and its continued success

Lisa enjoys working with clients and the community to coordinate their needs and demands.  “The art of project leadership includes perseverance and skillful coordination - balancing the spirit of community and the needs of our clients.”  Lisa believes in designing projects that are conscious of cost and environment and that a designer has a responsibility to acknowledge our fragile natural resources and celebrate the value they add to our landscape.  All of this while being mindful of the client’s bottom line.  There is an art to finding harmony between the two needs and this is key to our sustainability and prosperity. 

For Lisa, the ultimate reward is seeing a completed project flourish in a community.  “The rewards of a well thought private development plan can be seen in all that flourishes, adds beauty, and economic value to its public surroundings.”
