Groforma makes locally-led development possible

Groforma brings planning, capital structuring, and execution into one coherent platform, so community-driven projects can move from idea to reality without losing alignment or momentum. 

A row of urban residential buildings, including a three-story brick building with multiple windows, some with window boxes. There is a large climbing vine on the right side of the building. Trees and greenery are present in front, and there are parked cars, a bicycle, and a yellow bump sign on the street.

How it Works

A single platform for the full development journey. 

1. Shape the vision 

Translate community goals into a feasible development plan grounded in real constraints, not guesswork. 

2. Build the capital stack 

Model financing options, returns, affordability, and risk in a way funders actually understand. 

3. Execute with confidence 

Track decisions, partners, documents, and milestones in one place so projects don’t fall apart mid-stream.
