CLOSER TO WHAT MATTERS
The Power of Proximity
Proximity is the most powerful indicator for business site selection and real estate investment, too often to the exclusion of neighborhoods with lower incomes and educational attainment. However, many of these neighborhoods recognize that proximity extends beyond the physical environment and leans on the closeness/connectedness that residents, customers, and show owners experience. It is what extending access is all about — getting everyone closer to what they hold near and dear.
We at AndAccess help weave this community fabric through a distinct approach to economic and community development that yields the sustainable provision of culturally relevant goods and services closer to where people live, work, and play.
CLOSER TO WHAT MATTERS
Inclusive Commercial Development
The needs of the community is centered in our approach. Whether Friday night fun with family or the reliable seamstress from another part of the world or data to inform the next investment in a business or property, the AndAccess belief is that commercial development should meet everyone’s needs.
To accomplish this goal, we must rewrite the rules to development by centering the people —policymakers, shop and building owners, and neighbors — who shape, embrace, and celebrate where we call home. From leveraging community assets and population centers for lower costs use to rewriting policies to make business at each stage profitable, we can foster vibrant neighborhoods where people feel a sense of belonging and connection.
CLOSER TO WHAT MATTERS
Commercial Impact Backed by Data
We measure what we value. It’s the five-star Google Review, volume of bikes and pedestrians, and even the amount of belly laughs we might hear in a restaurant. AndAccess connects data points that illustrate a community’s opportunity for growth and what it deems worthy.
Our approach isn’t guesswork or gut feelings. AndAccess harnesses data-driven insights and design-centric strategies, researched and proven, to create a fertile ground for local and national businesses to flourish. We empower small businesses to compete in the e-commerce era with actionable intel, tools, and ongoing support to enhance their growth strategy.
