BlueWave Strategies

BlueWave Strategies LLC, the consulting arm of BlueWave Capital, was founded in 2002. In March 2010, BlueWave Strategies was sold to TRC Companies Inc. (NYSE:TRR), a national environmental consulting and engineering firm. BlueWave Capital remains a separately owned and managed entity, but works closely with TRC to leverage their national network of professionals for project engineering, construction, bonding and advisory services.

BlueWave Capital's professionals have benefitted greatly from their experience with BlueWave Strategies. Over its seven years BlueWave Strategies served as an advisor on a wide range of environmentally complex projects, with a focus on real estate development and renewable energy ventures. The team's extensive knowledge of environmental and energy technologies, law, regulation, and economics, combined with strong professional relationships with key political, regulatory, business, and non-profit leaders, helped BlueWave's clients achieve significant economic returns and environmental results on a diverse array of ventures.

• Renewable Energy: BlueWave Strategies' Energy Team worked with renewable energy technology companies, utilities, policy makers and other energy leaders on a variety of projects that addressed regional and global energy challenges while growing the clean energy technology sector as an economic engine.

• Real Estate and Brownfields: Led by John DeVillars and Stephanie Pollack, BlueWave's Real Estate team was well known for the major role its professionals have played in helping to shape federal, state, and local policies that encourage brownfields, smart growth and transit-oriented development. They advanced several successful development projects in New England and the U.S. Virgin Islands, demonstrating how environmentally sound real estate strategies can help developers increase their return on investment, avoid costly regulatory and political problems, reduce permitting time, and bring both economic growth and environmental benefits to communities.

• Sustainability and Green Design: BlueWave Strategies' Sustainability practice helped clients integrate environmental values, analysis and commitments into their projects. The team excelled at working with multiple parties on large and complicated projects and achieved a strong track record in helping its clients save time and money while achieving their environmental goals. BlueWave found that getting sustainable design "right" is not just a matter of checking off points on a checklist - the "art" of sustainable design involves understanding a complicated set of opportunities and challenges and crafting a strategy that makes financial, environmental and regulatory sense for each individual project. This is where BlueWave added the most value to its projects: by reducing environmental costs, coordinating environmental commitments with project timelines, and expediting the permitting process.

These projects included beach nourishment, wetlands banking and the siting, permitting and financing of desalinization plants and renewable energy facilities.
