  • “Taidgh McClory was absolutely fantastic to work with. At a critical stage during our pursuit of the Harvard Allston Land Company – Enterprise Research Campus development, THM Advisors helped our team define the WHY for DEI at the project level and design a holistic DEI Framework that guides our strategy today. We can’t thank them enough for strategic advisory services. With their help, we’ve transformed the way we approach and think about embedding racial equity through each stage of our development process. Thank you, Taidgh for helping us reach our goals and being such a reliable partner!”

  • Taidgh McClory of THM Advisors was wonderful to collaborate with. As a national coalition of real estate developers and investors who advocate for sustainable, equitable, walkable development, our Smart Growth America/LOCUS leadership team had a unique need for local landscape analysis of current priorities for real estate developers and investors in MA. We were very excited to work with Taidgh given his focus on equitable development and social impact, and his strong network in real estate in New England.

    THM Advisors was able to provide Strategic Advisory support in collaboration with SGA and the current LOCUS MA president, partnering with LOCUS to produce both a high-level policy scan and identifying potential future collaborative partnerships and programs that aligned with LOCUS’ priorities. We especially appreciated Taidgh’s collaborative approach; he was an extremely engaged partner and his input and strategic ideas were very helpful as we honed our LOCUS MA strategy.

Common DEI questions

View some of our most frequently asked questions to help you get started
DEI is so abstract for me, everyone is talking about the importance of DEI, but I am having trouble understanding where to begin and how to even start. 
The topic of racial equity in the real estate world can be difficult to understand and connect to the real estate development world without the right foundational knowledge. As part of our Discovery and Diagnostic process, we draw upon a suite of DEI subject matter expertise to help development teams apply foundational learning to understand the distinction between Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion and Equity practices and define the WHY of DEI.
We have an HR department, why do we need to hire a Strategic DEI Advisory…can’t our HR team deal with this?

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between internal DEI initiatives and external DEI initiatives. Acknowledging that every company and project is at a different point on their journey to integrate diversity, equity, & inclusion into their business, our DEI Framework model takes a customized approach to help development teams assess the DEI maturity level and begin to define the DEI areas of impact that are most important to their company and development.

Real estate is all about the numbers and quantifying the return on ROI to my investors. If I can’t quantify the ROI, it is doesn’t matter to me. How do you even begin to quantify the ROI of DEI efforts?
We understand that commercial real estate is a capital intensive pursuit that is constrained by a finite project schedule and budget. Our DEI Frameworks help developers quantify the DEI effort and integrate the strategy into the development budget and schedule so that financial and social outcomes can be quantified as part of the ROI.
I already have a development playbook that works, implementing a DEI strategy is just going to increase the risk and development budget for this project, which feels daunting and complex. 
Successful commercial real estate development have honed their operating playbooks through the years. Adding extra elements to an already complex process can seem daunting an risky. However, as you look across the commercial real estate landscape, all of our customer segments (employees, tenants, and capital) are increasingly demanding new playbooks be create that prioritize social impact and racial equity. The growing number of companies that work with THM DEI Solutions are developing new playbooks that integrate DEI into their business.
