Accolades
We love what we do and it shows in our work:
“Robin at UrbanLens is amazing. She is the most organized, efficient, clear communicator, an all around amazing person to work with. She kept my complicated land use review moving forward and got everything approved with the city!! I could not recommend her more.”
“…Robin was a pleasure to work with….In order to get all of the work done, I needed an expert. Robin was it. She made the process seamless and easier. The best part is she got it done.
”
““We recently had the pleasure or working with Robin as UrbanLens secured entitlements for our Portland, OR senior housing project and we could not have been happier with our experience. In addition to being exceptionally responsive with our team and taking the time to really understand our project’s nuances and sensitivities, she kept us very well informed of issues she confronted and timing expectations related to submissions and processes. Thanks in no small part to Robin’s attention to detail and her rapport and professionalism with city staff, she executed flawlessly.”
”
“When I first spoke with Robin, our Neighborhood Association Board was in a panic. A hearing was scheduled for a proposed subdivision adjacent to a beloved neighborhood park, and we did not know how to respond to the applicant’s proposal. Robin patiently listened to our concerns and helped us identify the goals we wanted to achieve at the hearing and the best strategies for achieving them. She spent several hours on the phone with me over a series of several phone calls, spent time researching our town’s Municipal Code and procedures, and reviewed our letter of testimony to the Development Review Commission. We were able to go to the public hearing informed and prepared because of all of her help. I am deeply grateful to Robin for all the time and care she took advising us.”
““We hired Robin for what seemed to be a complicated land use riddle wrapped up in an environmental enigma. She was able to plow though the layers of complexity in a timely fashion and find an exception in the planning code that allowed us to move forward and avoid a costly land use adjustment process.”
”
““Robin has been amazing to work with and brings more knowledge to the planning process than anyone we’ve worked with. She has been an essential asset in navigating and understanding the city’s processes and procedures in planning our metro area projects. She stands out even more in her responsive and quick turnaround time.””
