Our work.

Propvizer sits at the front edge of putting public assets to work, in both thought leadership and execution. We helped start this movement through Putting Assets to Work, and Atlanta has become its early proof point. Today the model is scaling across the country, and we work on both sides of it: publishing the papers and case studies that define the field, and doing the hands-on work of repositioning public assets on the ground.

Our team is helping build a national model for putting public land to work. Below are the projects our team has led, the writing we've published, the coverage of the work, and the podcasts where our team has shared the approach.

Its creation grew directly out of Atlanta's place in the inaugural Putting Assets to Work cohort, a coordinated effort led by Josh Humphries inside City Hall, with Ben McAdams and the PAW team as early partners.

Old Civic Center, Evanston

Through Putting Assets to Work, Evanston's original civic center at 2100 Ridge Avenue, a former school built in 1909 that sat empty after the city moved its offices to 909 Davis Street, was identified as an underutilized public asset. Propvizer is now leading the public engagement on its future use, gathering residents' ideas from apartments to affordable senior living, and will bring a recommendation to the City Council this fall.
