Quality Housing for All Incomes

A community can only thrive if it provides attainable opportunities for people at any stage in their lives. Building quality housing for those at all income levels is a foundation of the Smart Growth approach by Forsberg. Like our Tembo Homes and pocket neighborhoods, building the supply of affordable housing supply in existing urban areas can increase a community’s inclusiveness, economic opportunities and freedoms that come from more options for mobility.

Reinventing and Repurposing Spaces

There is room for peaceful beauty everywhere: Sometimes you just have to look hard enough at what could be. What may seem like cold and inhospitable infrastructure can appear to be yet another advantageous opportunity to a keen and creative eye. Forsberg believes in reinventing and repurposing spaces to best serve the residents in the surrounding community, which is why we are part of the collaborative development coalition Urban Systems with WestPac Communities and Dymaxion Development. At its heart, the aim of Urban Systems is to revitalize Lansing’s urban core through placemaking, community cohesion, quality of life and economic stability. Visit the full article here.
