We've worked with Krystine and the Athena team on a difficult project on the waterfront that required some detailed municipal finessing and dealt with a highly sensitive environmental area. Not only was this project handled professionally, but Krystine was able to get approvals through that even our legal team doubted could be done. Her legal background was extremely valuable in the process as she understood the intricate details of the document registrations that were being required of us and was able to negotiate directly with the municipality's legal team to get the result we needed to move forward. She was precise, relentless and in the end, we somehow managed to have the entire City rallying for our project. Not only did they save us from some serious implications that could have drastically affected the valuation of the project, but their tireless devotion and commitment to the result directly impacted our saleability and project success and saved us a pile in legal fees."

"Krystine and the Athena team worked with us on a unique project for seniors housing. We'd highly recommend seeking out Athena for municipal and design consultation - I was truly amazed at the results we were able to achieve. They championed a tough OCP amendment process, obtained strong community support and our architects are still marveling at how we were able to achieve the density and zoning approval with the variances we needed to make it work. For what in the beginning felt like a hail Mary, in the end the Athena team walked it through the processes easily and with full backing of City council, planning departments and the community. They work magic with community and municipal support and we were thrilled at the results."

"Trying to manage engineers, architects and our general contracting crew is a feat in it's own right, but being able to align them with the marketing and sales components for a successful project takes a certain kind of skill. What we loved about working with Athena was that they never lost sight of the end result and constantly ensured direct alignment between the work that was being done and it's effect on that end result - whether that be our civil plans, our site prep, interior design or even the community perception. For us, the end result was sales. The Athena team were always asking the question, "how will this impact our saleability?". They take ownership of the work they do and have a constant commitment to the bottom line, always searching for better solutions and more cost effective approaches."

"The Athena team has such a unique and refreshing approach to project design and development it was like a breathe of fresh air to work with! We worked together on a project to gain community input and public support for a P3 development that involved numerous stakeholders in the community and some very complex approval and funding processes. I truly don't know how they do it! Having that many people in a room and getting a result is incredible and they were able to move the timeline forward which helped our bottom line as we weren't stuck in bureaucratic red tape for as long as we anticipated. We'd highly recommend the team at Athena and look forward to working with them again!"
