A Message from the Founder and CEO:

Welcome, thank you for visiting our website! Please take a tour to learn about the Hallmark brand, philosophy, inclusive values, and projects. Hallmark Planning & Development was created to expand the impact of transforming blighted urban communities beyond the trends of traditional investments with efforts to heal disinvestments. 

Our goal is to create healthy, vibrant, livable, and inclusive communities that provide ample choices and opportunities to thrive economically, environmentally, and culturally. As we continue this work, Hallmark will strive to help build strong communities by working collaboratively with all community members with intention and transparency. Thank you again for visiting our page, and I look forward to partnering with you to build vibrant communities for all.

OUR
IMPACT

At Hallmark Planning & Development, our work is about unlocking potential and reimagining what's possible in urban communities. We approach each project with a commitment to transformation—revitalizing overlooked spaces and turning underused assets into thriving places full of opportunity and momentum.

Whether it's reactivating a historic site, coordinating visionary infrastructure investments, or shaping neighborhood plans with community insight at the core, we help bring bold ideas to life through thoughtful planning and creative development strategies. Every project is a chance to spark new energy, inspire economic growth, and shape the next chapter for our cities.
