Midway Parks + Greenspaces

Where Nature + Urban Life Meet

Our Purpose

Midway’s purpose is to create enduring investments and remarkable places that enrich people’s lives.

What We Believe

Actions Follow Beliefs

Our values and remarkable people who share our values are the foundation upon which Midway is built.

Integrity

We do what is right no matter what. Authenticity and transparency are central to our conduct; we say what we mean and honor our word.

Passion

It is never an accident. Passion is the fuel that drives us forward. We can accomplish the unthinkable with a passionate group of people working toward common goals.

Adaptability

Change is inevitable.

We instinctively look at the world with open eyes and anticipate change. This gives us the resolve to differentiate ourselves from the commonly accepted formula.

Quality

Thoughtfulness & innovation mark our work.

We believe quality results from our high intentions, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Initiative

We take responsibility & create change. We strive to make a difference, regardless of obstacles and resources.

Teamwork

Success is achieved when everyone wins. When we succeed together, without worrying about who gets credit, we succeed with humility.

In everything we do. Urgency

Working with a sense of urgency is critical in everything we do. We act promptly and with intention, striving to make things happen efficiently and effectively.

Generosity

To whom much is given, much is expected. Our talents were not given to us solely for our benefit and success but also to enable us to give back and make a positive impact in the lives of people in the communities where we live and work.

At Midway, we are passionate about building remarkable places that endure, and sustainability is at the forefront of our approach.”
