Global Development Curation

Setting a Standard for Urban Excellence

At PLACE Developments, we believe in the power of quality placemaking to create sustainable, high-value urban projects.

Drawing on 30 years of expertise in architecture and real estate strategy, we curate global properties that exemplify design excellence, functional design, urban connectivity, and long-term value—principles we consider fundamental to successful real estate.

Our curation showcases successful real-world projects that embody principles we believe are key to ensuring lasting success. It demonstrates to developers and end users how early strategic planning delivers enduring impact in real estate developments.
