Measuring Impact
Stewardship
Crescent Communities’ annual Stewardship Report outlines the year-round efforts of our team members to balance decision-making with smart business practices for the environment, the community, and those who will utilize it.
As a real estate development company, we have a tremendous opportunity to be innovative, reduce our environmental impact, and build community, not only in the sense of “sticks and bricks,” but also in the form of human connections. We are building communities with an eye to the future – communities that will remain relevant over time as high-performing, energy-efficient spaces that support the health of the environment and simultaneously encourage physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion
The culture of Crescent Communities has long encouraged our colleagues and leaders to embody our value statement: “Do What’s Right.” While we are proud of what we have already accomplished as a company, we understand that this is an ongoing journey with no finish line. We can do much more to lead others in this commitment, which includes continuing to foster a team comprised of diverse backgrounds, experiences, styles, genders, and races, and running an organization that values diverse perspectives, supports team member engagement, and fuels strong business results.

Public Art
What began as a desire to improve areas of buildings perceived as blank canvases has expanded and proven to be a defining characteristic of Crescent Communities, reinforcing our motto, “Build Community. Better People’s Lives.” We work closely with a national art curator to commission works that reflect the distinct personality of the neighborhood in which the project is located.
From Phoenix to Charlotte to Dallas, we work with local artists to transform otherwise blank walls, parking decks, or garages into vibrant, colorful creations that draw people in and make them want to be a part of our communities.

CRESCENT VALUE THAT MOST RESONATES WITH YOU
Deliver Excellence. – Growing up in Japan, it was instilled in me from an early age that excellence is a result of years of training, patience, and knowledge that make up who you are. And I believe it is what empowers you to become successful in life and ultimately helps you become humble of yourself.
WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU'VE RECEIVED
Be genuine.
WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE AND WHY?
I admire everyone at Crescent who has been my role model, but if I were to choose only one person, that would be my mother. She is the one who first introduced me to the world of commercial real estate and helped me gain an interest in all aspects of the business as a child, which eventually led me to work at Crescent later on in my life. Her influence was strong enough for my sister and I who both work in the industry, and she taught us the importance of having a global perspective in everything we do to become strong, independent women.

WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE AND WHY?
My dad. He has been surrounded by women (my mother is one of 5, I’m one of 3 sisters, and we each have 2 girls!) and he fully embraced that “girls are the greatest” long ago. I was raised to not only “go after it”, but shown daily by my father to believe in yourself; empower yourself with knowledge, quality people, and hard work; and to not worry about the rest. Very grateful for our changing relationship that has grown up as I have.
WHAT'S YOUR SECRET SUPERPOWER?
Embracing chaos. We all live busy lives, but working moms know a unique existence of mental schizophrenia. And I secretly thrive on the peak moments when pushed to tiptoe through eight things at once.
