The Placemaker story was born from a shared passion for excellence and community building.
The Placemaker story was born from a shared passion for excellence and community building.
Managing Principal of Milori Homes Hesam Deihimi and his longtime friend, industry expert Iman Rahmim, were tired of seeing property development projects that didn’t benefit the communities they were built for. So they put their collective expertise and years of experience in development & construction together -- and set out to make a change.
True to its namesake, Placemaker is a property development company that strives to not just design & build, but impact. Championing a multi-faceted approach to the selection, planning, design, and construction of residential & mixed-use spaces, Placemaker puts community wellbeing, health, & happiness at the forefront of each of its projects. The goal is to create spaces that do more than infiltrate. The goal is to create spaces that support, excite, and inspire -- naturally.

Our Awards
Humble, yet honored.

We like to push norms. We like to achieve excellence.
But more than anything else, we like to help communities flourish.
We put community first. By working with stakeholders in each community, we design efforts that will best advance inclusivity, community connection, & vibrancy -- so the development doesn’t just help them function, but helps them flourish.
