WiRED is an urban weaving firm that uses the built environment to cultivate community. Working with stakeholders at every level, we plan, develop and program spaces and structures that connect people, neighborhoods and the past, present and future—firmly believing that the most vibrant and successful communities are the most physically interwoven and socially engaged. Despite the growth of the digital universe, the built environment still provides the physical context for our personal and professional lives. We believe buildings are more than structures that take up space, they’re spaces that structure lives. At WiRED, we believe in the power of the built environment to cultivate community. For us, real estate development isn’t just about building or buying structures to generate financial success. It’s about recognizing that the built environment can’t be separated from the web of social dynamics that inhabit it, and it’s about planning and programming spaces to generate community success. We’re experts at using real estate to tie different people, distinct places and disparate times—the threads of every community—together. Connecting these threads creates an urban fabric that’s more physically intertwined and therefore more socially engaged. To accomplish this, we take a user-centered approach, considering a community’s current and future needs, and collaborating with stakeholders at every level to ensure everything we create breaks down barriers, encourages interaction and energizes communities. We call this Urban Weaving. For the last 12 years, we’ve used this philosophy to conceptualize, fund and develop some of the most visionary and socially beneficial real estate in the region. With a Consulting Practice that develops both properties and programs, an At-Risk Development arm that takes on neighborhood-creating developments, and Fee Development services for community-conscious partners who share our values, WiRED exists for projects that have an impact.
