At O’Connell Development Group, we understand that successful development goes beyond design and construction, it starts with thoughtful planning, local collaboration, and a deep respect for community priorities. Our team works closely with city officials, permitting boards, and neighborhood stakeholders to ensure every project is shaped by a clear, inclusive process from day one.
We manage all aspects of approvals and permitting, including zoning, environmental review, historical considerations, and public hearings. With decades of experience navigating local and state regulations across Massachusetts, we take pride in securing timely approvals while building trust within the communities where we work.
Whether we’re leading neighborhood meetings, responding to public feedback, or partnering with municipal leaders, our approach is grounded in transparency, responsiveness, and long-term relationships.
Our Process:
- Early engagement with local officials and permitting authorities
- Community outreach and public meeting coordination
- Comprehensive zoning strategy
- Seamless coordination with design, legal, and engineering teams
- Ongoing collaboration through project delivery and beyond
Our goal is simple: move projects forward with integrity while earning the support of the communities we serve.
Transparent and Respectful Community Engagement
We believe that good development starts with listening. Before we ever break ground, we engage with neighborhood groups, abutters, and city leaders to understand their concerns and priorities. Whether hosting public information sessions or adjusting plans to reflect local input, we approach each conversation with respect and transparency.
Our outreach efforts include:
- Direct coordination with elected officials and city planning staff
- Organizing and attending community meetings and public hearings
- Developing clear, accessible presentation materials and renderings
- Responding to questions and concerns in real time
- Identifying local needs that can be met through project design or community benefits
By building trust early and maintaining open lines of communication throughout the process, we reduce opposition, streamline approvals, and deliver projects that truly benefit the communities they’re part of.
