In Delaware Business Now, Group PMX’s Tim Kiser explores the importance of thoughtful planning, stakeholder collaboration, and community-focused development as Delaware continues to evolve.

Group PMX is proud to highlight an article authored by Tim Kiser, AIA, NCARB, Senior Project Manager, published in Delaware Business Now on March 13, 2026.

In “Delaware’s Next Generation of Development: Balancing Growth with Community,” Tim addresses an important challenge facing the state’s evolving built environment: how to support economic development while maintaining the character, needs, and priorities of local communities.

As Delaware continues to attract investment in corporate campuses, mixed-use developments, higher education, and commercial facilities, successful development requires more than delivering new buildings. It calls for a thoughtful approach that considers how projects integrate with existing neighborhoods, infrastructure, and long-term community goals.

Tim’s perspective highlights several considerations that are important to responsible development:

• Balancing growth with community needs: Recognizing that successful development should contribute to economic vitality while respecting the character and priorities of surrounding communities.
• Encouraging stakeholder collaboration: Bringing owners, designers, project managers, local agencies, and community stakeholders together to establish shared objectives.
• Planning for long-term value: Considering how developments will function, adapt, and contribute to their communities beyond initial construction.
• Integrating design and project delivery: Aligning architectural vision with practical considerations such as budget, schedule, infrastructure, and operational needs.
• Supporting sustainable development: Considering how thoughtful planning and design decisions can contribute to lasting, resilient built environments.

With extensive experience delivering complex corporate, higher education, and mixed-use developments throughout the region, Tim brings a valuable perspective to the conversation about Delaware’s future.

His experience includes significant projects such as the FinTech Innovation Hub and STAR Campus Tower at the University of Delaware, as well as the mixed-use Tower at Avenue North in Wilmington.

At Group PMX, we recognize that successful development extends beyond the completion of a building. It requires collaboration, proactive planning, and an understanding of how projects contribute to the communities they serve.
