After studying Urban Development and History at the University of New Orleans, Karley D. Frankic, Principal, launched her career in real estate development as the manager of a neighborhood redevelopment nonprofit. She spent four years acquiring, renovating, and developing historic properties in New Orleans. Through this and her later work with the New Orleans Notarial Archives Research Center, she developed excellent contacts in both city government and the real estate community, and an intimate knowledge of the system — local permitting, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and historic preservation commissions.
She established Frankic, Inc. in 2004 to provide detailed analysis of permitting and project zoning needs for Developers, Contractors, Architects, Property Managers and Real Estate Attorneys. Ms. Frankic excels at anticipating project hurdles and identifying potential issues early on. Her team approach–close collaboration with owners, project architects, contractors, and regulatory agencies–spurs creative and proactive solutions that minimize expensive project delays.
Ms. Frankic has served on national and local panels concerned with urban development and neighborhood revitalization issues.
