The Firm
DREAM Collaborative is a Boston-based, award-winning MBE firm integrating planning, design, construction, and development to deliver impactful, sustainable solutions. With a diverse leadership team and a commitment to equity and innovation, we build stronger communities—locally, nationally, and globally.
DREAM Collaborative is a Boston-based, award-winning, 100% MBE architecture, planning, and development firm founded in 2008 by Greg Minott, AIA, LEED APÂ and Troy Depeiza, Assoc. AIA. As nationally recognized leaders in the built environment, we deliver innovative, human-centered design, transformative planning, and forward-thinking leadership in equitable real estate development, serving clients locally, nationally, and globally.
Driven by a leadership team at the forefront of practice and policy, DREAM advances a fully integrated model that unites architecture, urban planning, and real estate development into a single, high-performing platform. Our work is grounded in deep sustainability expertise and informed by a local-to-global perspective, enabling us to lead complex projects across diverse communities and international contexts with both technical excellence and cultural fluency.
Our services span the full project lifecycle, from early visioning, feasibility, and stakeholder engagement through design, construction, and long-term asset realization. By aligning strategy, design, and development, we provide clients with a decisive advantage: a partner capable of navigating complexity, mitigating risk, and delivering high-impact, sustainable, and equitable outcomes at every scale.
SUSTAINABILITY & RESILIENCE
DREAM Collaborative is committed to creating diverse, inclusive, and equitable futures — beginning with bold action on climate change. As a proud signatory of the AIA 2030 Commitment, we strive to achieve the highest levels of sustainability and resilience, from Net Zero and Passive House to LEED and beyond. Our architectural process is powered by our talented in-house team, including LEED and Passive House-certified professionals who drive every project forward.
Our development and planning work views each project through a comprehensive lens, always considering the overlapping spheres of public policy, private development, and community-building. DREAM’s work encompasses all scales, from individual parcels and sites to entire neighborhoods and cities. Across all, our team seeks to empower neighborhoods, improve mobility choices, reduce resource consumption, and foster livable communities.
We knew from day one that DREAM would be a different kind of firm.Â
