Mission
We see an opportunity to affect change in the way we lead development in our communities, towns and cities. Think Loud Development’s goal is to be a proponent of that change by helping to develop people, places, and companies that have a legacy mission.
We see the caliber of talent and integrity in our small corner of the world and know that with access to tools, resources and advocacy - the potential of these individuals could soar. The concentration of art, technology, artisan food and beverage establishments alone tells us that with the right opportunities, we can help our communities thrive.
"Our dedication to our mission is unmatched, and the fuel within our hearts to bring positive, transformative change to our communities is steadfast. When we say “Community through Development,” we mean it.”
Bill Hynes, CEO & Founder, Think Loud Development
Goals
Our goal is to hone our operations to develop higher quality places and spaces. We want to invest in not only the projects themselves but to create mechanisms of support for the people + neighborhoods surrounding those projects.
History
Think Loud Development believes in second chances.
Second chances for our projects, the neighborhoods they impact, the cities in which they are located, and the citizens for whom we work to create quality jobs. It's the belief in second chances that enables our team to see possibility over blight, a robust downtown core over vacant storefronts, and revolution over industries of days gone by.
"We see bricks and mortar as only a shell to house the potential within. Our projects have a life all of their own, that will in turn breathe new life into the people and places that surround them. We enjoy bringing something back to life that will endure, giving buildings a second chance. Our buildings will be helping people long after we're gone.
Success can be defined by many things. For Think Loud Development, success is defined by waking up every day knowing that we are doing our very best to do right by the cities we touch. That we can look at a desolate place and imagine it being a community of start up businesses, a new entertainment venue, or an up-and-coming neighborhood full of artists. Success, in our office, is defined by being able to see something for what it can be, not what it is."
Bill Hynes, CEO & Founder
"I've always been more impressed with those who display the will to overcome life’s obstacles and better themselves than with those who quit or give up. I've always rooted for the underdog or the undervalued player. All of life's great stories are about second chances and those who persevere in the face of insurmountable odds. I'm inspired by the downtrodden and fallen that define their destiny through hard work, faith, determination and a little luck. I have made an art of surrounding myself with men and women who share many of the characteristics outlined above. We're bound by a communal obligation to hold each other to a higher standard, to push each other beyond average and into greatness. We did it with LIVE and we found a global audience that shared our dreams and goals. We're now doing it with Think Loud."
