Adaapta Announces Strategic Merger with Community Lattice to Enhance Mission-Driven Community Revitalization, Climate Resilience Efforts
DENVER, JUNE 5, 2024 — Adaapta, a Denver-based, women-owned small business that provides brownfield technical assistance and consulting services to municipalities and nonprofits, is thrilled to announce a strategic merger with Houston-based Community Lattice, a key partner in community-driven revitalization and climate resilience strategies. The merger will amplify the companies’ aligned mission to educate, empower, and equip communities to successfully redevelop their underutilized and contaminated properties to achieve economic, social, and environmental objectives.
Expanded Capabilities and National Reach
The united team will continue to operate as Adaapta and sunset the Community Lattice brand over the next year. This merger provides Adaapta with expanded capacity and capabilities to tackle the complex and multidisciplinary challenges clients face. Adaapta will continue to serve clients nationally with personnel in key locations across the country.
“This merger integrates the core strengths of Community Lattice – community-centric revitalization, climate-informed planning, and ‘Data for Good’ – with Adaapta’s real estate expertise in market and financial analysis. This unique combination promises to elevate our work for all of our clients,” said veteran real estate developer Mary Hashem, Founder and President of Adaapta.
A Unified Vision for Future Generations
Brownfields redevelopment and community-wide revitalization historically have been rooted in economic development. However, the industry is rapidly evolving to address even broader, more complex community needs, reconcile historic harms, and build resilience for future generations. Adaapta’s real-world development and environmental risk management expertise complement Community Lattice’s successful track record of advancing transformative projects like city parks, urban farms, resilience hubs, workforce training, and community solar. As an impact- and mission-driven company, Adaapta will leverage these combined strengths to push the edge of what is possible for its clients and community partners.
“On behalf of the entire Community Lattice team, I am excited about what this merger means for our ability to offer next-level services to clients and partners – taking projects from vision through completion,” said Danielle Getsinger, incoming CEO of Adaapta and Founder of Community Lattice. “With Adaapta’s expertise and direct experience with deal structures and real estate finance, matched with our boundless energy to find new and better ways to accelerate impact to meet real-world needs, we’re going to be unstoppable!”
