A building is more than glass, concrete, and stone. It’s an opportunity.
Community Impact
Our mission is to transform neighborhoods and the way we live through considered, intelligent and unexpected design.
For Terra, transformation is not simply change for change’s sake. It is the thoughtful evolution of a place to help it reach future goals more efficiently and more sustainably, so that progress becomes part of the ongoing neighborhood dynamic.

Serve as an inspirational leader in helping cities and neighborhoods pursue and realize their full potential.
Sustainability
We are constantly aware that the materials and resources present today must also be present for the properties of tomorrow.
Likewise, the vital component of “location, location, location,” must always be preserved if development is to continue to deliver value to property owners. It is for these reasons that Terra actively pursues sustainability measures in every project we undertake.
We respect that our work impacts communities. It is up to us to ensure that impact is positive by incorporating technologies that minimize waste, promote the preservation and growth of natural ecosystems, improve community access to green spaces, encourage responsible use of energy and water, and ensure resilience against climate change and other environmental issues our society faces. Terra accepts these challenges with confidence and is proud to set new benchmarks in green building, LEED and WELL certification, and other recognized industry standards in sustainability.

Design & Architecture
Where other development firms think of design and architecture as separate tasks, Terra believes these two principles are intrinsically linked to one another.
We begin every project by coming to a consensus over what the ambience, mood, artistry, and the character of the destination, and then we engage the right people in bringing that vision to life. When executed to its fullest potential, the expression is seamless, uniting built structures with landscape, art, furnishings, amenity experiences, and even elements of nature like sunlight, the waterfront, or the breeze.
The cohesive bond between form and function has become a recognizable trademark of Terra properties and has served to deepen the connection between people and the properties we build. In seeing design + architecture as a cooperative conversation, we have been able to reimagine what is possible for both individual disciplines.
Collaboration
When it comes to assembling a team of visionaries, Terra seeks experts with insight and influence from multiple industries.
