Engagement
Eastmark
Nurturing the natural leaders and encouraging those on the sidelines to become active stewards of their community creates meaning and improves quality of life.
Mesa, Arizona
We create places and cultivate relationships that inspire people to find purpose, live authentically, and thrive together.
Our unique community-building model focuses on three essential elements:
Placemaking. Community happens where people gather. We influence program and design decisions, and we expertly care for community landscapes and amenities to create intentional connections and better experiences.
Shared Responsibility. True community is made by the people who live there. We work in collaboration with residents and stakeholders to help them cultivate a place that looks and lives well, and that is built to last and hold value.
Authentic Relationships. Strong social bonds are integral to community. We orchestrate opportunities and experiences for strong ties to form and deepen, expanding trust and improving well-being.
What sets us apart

The Cohere Experience
Explore our communities and see the life-changing power of community in action.
Case Studies
Great places don’t happen by accident. Great places are the result of a thoughtful vision that is cared for and nurtured as the community matures. Based on a long history of design excellence and a deep understanding of how communities evolve, Cohere is committed to preserving and enhancing the built environment of the communities it manages with the objective that each community gets better with time.
JT Elbracht
Architect, Elbracht+Company, LCC
When executed well, a strong sense of Community is a significant competitive advantage in the master planned community business. But, when executed with thoughtful planning followed by intentional action, a sense of Community is the legacy of great development.
Rarely do you meet a collaborator who shares the dream and then turns it into a reality. The Cohere Team does just that. From the early discovery of “localness” of place to the universals of enlightened community management, the Cohere team listens, explores, questions, and creates.
Sandra Kulli
Owner, Kulli Marketing
Cohere's unique approach to community building created a vibe and energy that attracted homebuyers and was well received by residents. They cemented Eastmark amongst the top best-selling and best-living communities in the nation. Given Cohere’s success with Eastmark, we have engaged at two of our new master planned communities to provide the community building. We really appreciate and value what Cohere brings to our projects.
Dea McDonald
SVP & GM, Brookfield Properties Development
The Cohere team are master creators and connectors of people, places and everlasting memories that transform real estate to the forever fabric of our lives.
Denise Resnik
Founder, President & CEO, First Place AZ; CEO, DRA Collective
Cohere has been a great partner in the management of our associations at McWhinney. While they are more than adept at traditional association management, the secret sauce lies in their unique ability to promote community engagement through creative events and programming.
I’m a big believer in the community-building model that Cohere has perfected. Grounded in the full spirit of community and enriching people’s lives, this unique, collaborative approach was key in distinguishing and growing the value of communities developed by DMB Associates during my tenure there.
