At Sidara, we're committed to being advocates for change: advancing the human experience, demonstrating leadership in design for livability, and empowering clients with the world-class sustainability advisory and breakthrough tech innovation needed unlock new and imaginative solutions.

"We are a global collective of the world’s brightest and best planners, designers, engineers, and consultants who have come together on a shared mission: to advocate for the world as we would for our own home.

Together, the Sidara companies are the home for declarative advocacy and leadership. Through humility, integrity, and deep respect we spotlight the cultures we serve, while honoring the people we create for and elevating how they live."
