Cook County
Commissioner of Building and Zoning

Lanz & Associates worked with South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association on our transit-oriented development (TOD) planning initiatives. Their knowledge of TOD planning concepts, the Chicago Southland region, and their attention to detail is truly impressive. I highly recommend Lanz & Associates for any project or assignment.

City of Beaverton
Economic Development Coordinator

I've worked with Lanz & Associates on a number of significant planning studies across the Chicago metropolitan area over the past twelve years. The firm is easy to work with as a prime contractor or sub-consultant, and provides clear direction to the team as its Project Manager.

AECOM Economics
Vice President

Ron Lanz was a tremendous asset to a public space planning project in the Northcenter neighborhood on Chicago's north side. He and the entire team brought a community oriented process that gave us solid results on how residents wanted a public plaza developed. Since then, I have personally recommended Ron and Lanz & Associates for their urban planning skills and in-depth knowledge of the profession. I would happily do it again.

Cary Grove Area Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director

Lanz & Associates deliver a rare combination of vision and pragmatism. They understands a client's goals, knows the steps needed to achieve them, and has the foresight to help achieve the project objectives. Ron listens to others, whether he's working for them or they're working for him. He has great ideas but doesn't let them overshadow input from others, or the project goals. He is a pleasure to work with.

They examined the practicality of a four year old study and provided us with guidance to adapt the plan to current conditions.
