About Us

Imagine General Contracting and Development (IGCD) is a full-service design/build firm and a 100% minority-owned, women-led business dedicated to delivering exceptional results in construction, historic and old building restoration and adaptive reuse into retail, as well as resurrection of historic homes. With over 150 years of combined expertise and 27 years of trusted service, IGCD has built a legacy of innovation, excellence, and community impact.

Specializing in retail spaces, historic and old building restoration, and adaptive reuse, we are passionate about preserving Phoenix’s rich history while driving sustainable growth. Our commitment to sustainability and adaptive reuse ensures that each project not only honors the past but also contributes to the future vitality of our community. We have fostered partnerships with a vast network of skilled subcontractors, industry experts, and city officials in adaptive reuse and we maintain the highest standards of quality and innovation on every project.

IGCD holds licenses in both commercial and residential construction, backed by a deep understanding and a team of in-house experts in design, architecture, engineering, project management, construction, and operation efficiencies. Our expertise in adaptive reuse and restoration goes beyond traditional construction, requiring a specialized skill set developed through hands-on experience with intricate, one-of-a-kind projects. Adaptive reuse demands a unique approach, blending creativity and technical knowledge to breathe new life into old spaces while preserving their history and character.

Heather Lennon, CEO, emphasizes, “Owning an old building is not enough to save it. It must be reintegrated into the community in a meaningful way. Our retail adaptations focus on maximizing revenue generation for every square foot we transform, ensuring both sustainability and impact.”

At IGCD, we’re not just building spaces; we’re building opportunities. With a passion for creating jobs and fostering local small business and economic growth, we collaborate closely with our clients and partners to deliver projects that inspire, generate revenue, and leave a lasting legacy. Together, we’re shaping the future of Phoenix, one old building at a time.
