The Change We Seek®

Increase Social and Intellectual Capital:
Intellectual capital is one of, if not the most, important assets a city possess. In the knowledge economy, it is the people in a city – their skills, capabilities and knowledge – that can make a critical difference to a city’s ability to compete successfully for investment. A key driver of a city’s attractiveness is the extent to which people feel connected to one another or the degree of social capital that exists. The vibrant, connected neighborhoods that ADG develops make cities attractive to skilled and entrepreneurial, and help generate intellectual and social capital.

Strengthen Local Economies:
Walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods reduce household transportation costs by 22%. All of Arnold Development Group's projects are located in walkable areas with access to transit lines. They estimate that nearly $5 million per year per neighborhood of 5,000 people could be kept in the community if residents could spend less on transportation.High performance green buildings consume less energy than conventional buildings, which makes their developments more affordable.

Reduce Carbon Emissions:
Arnold Development Group strives to develop buildings that do not use electricity produced from coal, but rather utilize lower carbon alternatives such as solar, hydro or natural gas powered combined heat and power systems. They aim for their projects to generate more renewable energy than they consume and sell the excess back to the grid.
