IMPACT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

At RDUSA we believe that it often takes
Respectful Disruption to bring about Positive Change

ABOUT US

In 2008, Donald Monti had an epiphany to create a
triple-bottom-line development model based on social, environmental and economic responsibility.  This vision resulted in the creation of Renaissance Downtowns an East Coast Based Company committed to Social Impact Investment.  In an effort to amplify Don’s vision in January 2018, Don created Renaissance Downtowns USA (RDUSA) bringing with him the same set of core values that he so deeply believes in.

As a self-proclaimed recovered developer, Don promises that he will never return back to the development days of “Suburban Sprawl.” He brings over 30 years of diverse experience covering all aspects of the real estate spectrum with the Company’s sole focus now centered around Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD) alongside a commitment for Social Returns on Investment (SROI).

At RDUSA, our passion is centered around a commitment to Invest in IMPACT Real Estate Development. Emphasis on Social Returns on Investment is now viewed by many decision makers as a “mandate” as opposed to an “option.”

Our MISSION

To create healthy, vibrant, and sustainable communities for people from all walks of life while adhering to our Triple-Bottom-Line principles of social, environmental and economic responsibilities.

Our VISION

To collaborate with Community Stakeholders and Municipalities to co-create Equitable Transit-Oriented Development in order to maximize Social Returns on Investment.

Our VALUES

Center around the belief that “If You Do Good, You’ll Do Well” and are embedded in the DNA of every member of Team RDUSA.

To stay true to and uphold our Mission, Vision and Values RDUSA has developed a Core Revitalization Methodology that fully respects community-driven redevelopment of suburban downtowns located in proximity to major metropolitan areas throughout the country.
