Buena Sustainable Communities, based in Wilmington, NC, is a for-profit economic development firm focused on the triple bottom line -- people, planet, and profit. We create and implement road maps for thriving sustainable communities. Our expertise includes real estate, green design, marketing, sales, consulting, business development, coaching and connecting.
True prosperity is all-inclusive. A community can only reach its full potential if all voices are heard and considered in the planning process. Buena believes that that the greatest opportunity and profit lies in solving what may seem to be the hardest problems.
We assess the core assets of a community, as well as its weaknesses, and create comprehensive solutions for economic stimulation, including business development, marketing, and master planning. By working as a central hub of all elements of a community, we help form partnerships that stimulate growth within the economy. We find solutions that allow communities to move beyond differences of opinion. We use regional and world-wide connections across green building, clean energy, real estate, technology, social organizations, agriculture, non-profits and businesses to create and implement measurable plans for sustainable economic development.
