We design delightful, thriving places that foster social interaction and connection. Our vibrant neighborhoods have heart.

From high-end residential to affordable housing, from co-ops to cohousing, from retrofits of existing housing stock to new builds, Caddis has experience with every facet of multi-family communities, locally, nationally, and internationally. Each housing type informs the other and helps make our designs even stronger. From inception through permitting, we can help with any stage of the project, make the most of any location, and work with almost any budget.

We take city-making seriously.

We design both market-rate and affordable housing contributions to the available supply to create livable communities with enhanced longevity. While deed-restricted, affordable units are essential, the addition of market-rate units helps to protect the existing housing stock and neighborhoods from extreme cost increases and gentrification.

Our deep experience in multi-family communities includes mixed-use projects, retrofit apartment buildings, resorts, pocket neighborhoods, and more. Whether you’re building units for sale or for rent, our unique approach to place-making maximizes each site.

We have experience serving on city and county planning boards, and we form solid relationships with public staff. This helps us create approvable submittals that appeal to local review authorities. When you work with us, you get an approvable project that will come in on time and on budget.

We bring flexibility, creative thinking, and patience to the world of bureaucratic red tape.

We’ve handled numerous complex entitlement processes. Because of our deep expertise and our ability to work well with public officials, we are able to navigate entitlements in a variety of locations, municipalities, jurisdictions, states, and even different countries. And when the situation calls for it, our experienced staff works with knowledgeable local consultants to bring the needed capacity to get the job done.

Drafting and working toward passage of new ordinances. Getting approval for complicated permitting. Strategizing raw land development. Conducting annexation. Facilitating public engagement. Authoring design guidelines. Guiding site review. Whatever the task, we know how to engage with government staff to have a successful approval process.
