OUR MISSION

IS TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL, equitable, AND sustainable SPACES.

Named after the futuristic planet in the British science fiction television series Dr. Who, Gallifrey embraces the quirky and creative, focused on pushing the world towards a better future. At Gallifrey, we believe a better future must consist of the following.

Beauty | where we are inspired by our surroundings.

Equity | where the voices and perspectives of all people are manifested in the world around us.

Environmental Responsibility | where we are better stewards of the land and are able to blur the lines between the natural and built environment.

OUR STORY

bEGINS IN 2018.

The Gallifrey team consists of former consultants in the real estate industry (lawyers, builders, and engineers) who are now empowered to take ownership and build on their depth of knowledge to design and develop projects with an elevated level of creativity. From this, Gallifrey's first projects consist of an urban farm in a food desert and a "small-home" or cottage cluster community, designed to provide missing middle housing or housing at a much lower price point than what is currently on the market. In addition, Gallifrey is cognizant of the real estate industry's past (and sometimes current) role in perpetuating racial inequality, and therefore believes the industry should look to foster diversity and inclusiveness.
