Michael Gallis & Associates has developed new methods and techniques for building strategic frameworks as the foundation for planning. The firm has focused on strategic planning and design projects requiring a high degree of innovation. In 1996, MG&A formed a real estate group aimed at more effectively linking public sector policy with private investment to re-urbanize cities and maximize the utilization of land. The core services that the firm provides through these dual focuses are complementary and create value for clients through added dimensions of understanding. Our breadth of experience in integrated strategic planning projects has helped MG&A develop a comprehensive information base to support our expertise in urban development and transportation infrastructure patterns. Our real estate experience provides the firm with an in-depth knowledge of metropolitan markets and market dynamics. Visual Language is a tool that MG&A uses to abstract and communicate complex information to provide our clients with a more comprehensive understanding and integrated framework for problem definition, solutions and decision-making. Company Philosophy MG&A believes that a comprehensive and strategic framework, built in a partnership with our clients and communities, must be created before any strategic plan or real estate project can be effective. We believe fragmented and traditional approaches are no longer viable in the 21st century.
