CLIENT FEEDBACK

“ MacDonald Gray assisted us directly in landscape and site layout design and crucially, in selecting and dealing with prime consultants. ”

Alan R. Skelley
President, First Avenue Joint Venture

“If you hope to develop a property here you will need professionals with knowledge, determination, and perseverance to help you wind your way through the twists and turns of regulations and the personalities of regulators. Nigel and Cara know the ropes.”

Craig Dutton
Owner, Pheasant Glen Golf Resort

“The Holland Creek development project retained MacDonald Gray at the start of our project to assist us in securing a rezoning. During the process they provided input on the project design, made presentations to town committees, represented the project at open houses, helped in negotiations with town Staff, made representation at the Public Hearing; and provided project plans for public viewing. They were definitely an asset to the project team and we look forward to working with the again in future projects.”
