MINDFUL COMMUNITIES partners with development and project management firms to create regenerative, future-ready communities that optimize land value, reduce risk, and enhance long-term resilience and returns.

We provide integrated development consulting from early visioning and highest-and-best-use analysis through yield optimization, rezoning strategy, pro forma alignment, site masterplanning, and implementation support. Our work bridges entitlement strategy, financial modelling, urban design, and environmental performance — ensuring projects are economically viable, approval-ready, and positioned for long-term asset appreciation.

By integrating resilient urban design, walkable public realms, permaculture-based landscape systems, and solar-optimized planning, we strengthen quality of life while enhancing market differentiation and long-term project performance. Our approach ensures that livability and profitability are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing drivers of value.

Led by T. Maginnis Cocivera, former Vice President of Development at Polygon Homes, our team brings executive-level experience delivering 1,800 multifamily homes across the Lower Mainland. His expertise spans land acquisition, pro forma modelling, rezoning negotiations, consultant coordination, and construction delivery — translating financial models into efficient, de-risked, high-performing built outcomes. Maginnis headed the team that created a new type of open plan townhome that won the Urban Development Institute Award of Excellence in 2014 and has since become an industry standard.

Complementing this development expertise, Geneviève Noël brings deep leadership in regenerative permaculture design and restorative biodiversity strategy. Her work integrates food, water, and energy systems into masterplanning frameworks — transforming sites into living infrastructure that enhance soil health, strengthen ecological performance, reduce irrigation demand, increase carbon sequestration, and build long-term climate resilience. By embedding regenerative landscape systems and biodiversity restoration directly into development strategy, she ensures projects are not only financially optimized, but ecologically generative and future-proof.

For development managers navigating complex sites, entitlement processes, or evolving market conditions, MINDFUL COMMUNITIES provides strategic intelligence that elevates both returns and quality of life — from concept through completion.
