Property Development (including Brownfields)

Geomatrix works with developers, commercial/industrial property owners, and municipal governments to transform languishing, environmentally-challenged properties into productive operations, public spaces, and enhanced ecological habitat.  We have unmatched expertise in Brownfields redevelopment and are one of the few firms that has all the necessary technical, scientific, regulatory and project expertise it takes to handle the environmental, geological, and construction management aspects of a redevelopment project. We are widely recognized as one of the most innovative and successful firms in developing creative approaches to reuse, and as a pioneer in the successful development of risk-based solutions. On each project, we bring stakeholders together and foster trust in the community to assist our clients in achieving their Brownfields’ redevelopment goals.
