Chisholm Architects <br />Rural Neighborhoods, an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable housing and community development <br />organization enjoys a near 20 -year professional relationship with R.E. Chisholm <br />Architects that began in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew and continues today. <br />Throughout this period; R.E. Chisholm Architects has served as planners and architects <br />for affordable several rental housing communities, neighborhood retail space, child care <br />centers and public parks at a total development cost of more than $70,000,000. R.E. <br />Chisholm Architects has teamed with Rural Neighborhoods in Miami -Dade. Collier and <br />Hillsborough counties. <br />® R.E. Chisholm Architects provides talented and insightful services that take our unique <br />programming needs and crafts cost - effective and well- designed solutions. Everglades <br />Village, a national award - winning project located in southernmost Miami -Dade, is a <br />noteworthy example. For this model rural village, R.E. Chisholm Architects served as <br />planner, zoning consultant and architect giving life to our 128 acre vision replete with <br />affordable single- family homes, duplex apartments and townhouses, health clinic, child <br />care centers, public parks and green spaces surrounding a central neighborhood retail and <br />office core. From 1994 to date, R.E. Chisholm has provided construction management, <br />addressed changes in site planning and maintained design continuity throughout <br />numerous construction phases. <br />Chisholm Architects' expertise has proved invaluable in our efforts to manage complex <br />and highly - regulated environmental concerns. In Eden Garden, a recent 20 -acre <br />development in Collier County, R.E. Chisholm Architects and consultants teamed to <br />make best use of a site beset by uplands inhabited by protected species and wetlands in <br />need of preservation. R.E. Chisholm staff assisted Rural Neighborhoods in revised site <br />plans and building designs that allowed us to exceed Federal, state and local <br />environmental standards. <br />Throughout our past collaborations, R.E. Chisholm has provided RN practical and artful <br />design. Plans and specifications are produced on timely and articulated schedules, for <br />reasonable fees and, most importantly, at targeted construction budgets: For Rural <br />Neighborhoods, our best partnerships are with architectural firms that possess broad <br />experience but are of a size where principal owners and design professionals are <br />® personally accessible. That is certainly true at R. E. Chisholm Architects. Principals <br />
