Medici Consulting Group

What Medici Consulting Group does

Medici Consulting Group (MCG) is a Denver-based affordable housing consulting and development firm that operates through public-private partnerships with housing authorities, municipal governments, and non-profit housing developers across Colorado's Front Range. Founded in 2000 by Troy Gladwell as Medici Communities and relaunched in its current three-partner form in 2015, MCG delivers planning, development, and construction-management services for affordable housing projects serving seniors, large families, homeless populations, and the general workforce. The firm has completed over 25 projects since 2007, including rehabilitation and new-construction builds ranging from 47 to 255 units, with notable completions such as the Golden West Renovation (255 units, Boulder), Olin Hotel Renovation (112 units, Denver), Broadway Lofts (111 units, Englewood), and Atlantis Apartments Phase II (84 units, Denver).

MCG's business model rests on two revenue streams: professional-services consulting fees (financing package negotiation, regulatory and entitlement management, consultant and contractor oversight, construction management) and development fees earned on completion of affordable housing projects structured as public-private partnerships with its government and non-profit partners. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its competitive differentiation stems from deep fluency with affordable housing financing programs (LIHTC and adjacent federal, state, and local funding sources), regulatory entitlement processes, and a community-development philosophy that emphasizes engagement with residents, neighborhood groups, architects, and city planners rather than a pure for-profit developer model. Customers are exclusively institutional — housing authorities (Aurora, Jefferson County, Longmont), municipal governments (City of Englewood), and non-profit developers (Volunteers of America, Archdiocesan Housing, Golden West Communities, Senior Housing Options, Urban Land Conservancy, Greccio Housing, Kappa Housing, Atlantis Foundation, Longmont Housing Development Corporation).
