As alchemists, we turn real estate into gold.
The spirit of place
As visionary designers with sibylline abilities, we foresee what a property should be.
Foreseer creates, enhances, and maintains value in real estate by revealing each property’s genus loci – the “spirit of place.” For nearly four decades, insightful developers have profited from Foreseer’s powerful abilities to attract and retain the right people for each place.
Every location should be revealed and honored.
Foreseer’s founder, Paula Rees, has unearthed and brought the soul back to properties from California to Barcelona. She foresees success and creates a healthy future for undeveloped land or underperforming real estate.
People, not “placemakers,” make a place.
Since 1980, Rees (‘Seer’ backward) has rewarded private owners and public municipalities by using her natural abilities, honed to a high degree by practical applications. Her insights provide delight because they reflect the community. When the people make it their own, a space becomes a place.
Foresight in 4 steps:
Connection: Onsite, Rees senses the spirit and envisions what the property is meant to be and how to make the developer’s intentions resonate.
Creation: Assembling a multi-disciplinary team and hand-picking the most creative experts for each assignment, Rees develops a meaningful story, an urban myth that brings the project’s unique spirit to life.
Manifestation: After developing the story of the place and marking the locations of power, Foreseer creates the hundreds of essential artistic and architectural details from public art to wayfinding or building facades to landmarks.
Orchestration: Working with a network of the best and most skilled fabricators and artisans, Foreseer weaves a story that is grounded and subliminally embedded. Inspired by a cohesive focus, every discipline stays on point, and the marketing, leasing, development, and architectural teams all sing as one.

Urban+Humane=Urbane
Urbane: adj. having or showing the refined manners of polite or sophisticated society; elegant; knowledgeable about the world, showing experience and confidence.
What difference one little “e” makes. Urbane is what everyone strives to be in one way or another, because it’s about living life well and finding beauty, culture, and quality no matter where or how simply we choose to live.
