Development

Building strong, enduring communities

Our commitment is to not only build and maintain beautiful, high-quality housing, but to also be there to continue adding value that helps our communities and residents thrive long term. We are engaged with every aspect of the process, carrying developments from the conceptual phase to the closing table. As a dedicated development partner, we collaborate with leaders and local officials to understand the needs, challenges and opportunities for making the best use of the property. And we value the long-term partnerships and relationships that allow us to develop high-quality properties that deliver lasting value. We want to provide places that people and communities take pride in, and aim to continuously raise the bar with everything we design and build.

Our Construction & Design Services

Construction Management

Our Construction Management (CM) team helps carry out the vision for the developments through leading the front-end due diligence, which includes third party reports (Environmental Phase I/II, Geotechnical), initial design work, and conceptual budgets. The CM team is responsible for development timeline management, and also manages all of the third-party consultants such as architects, surveyors, civil engineers, environmental, landscape, energy modelers etc. From finance/land closing to substantial completion, the team ensures the owner’s best interests are considered in all decisions being made, and that their investments are being constructed as planned. We also work to ensure the communities are built in compliance with the selections made for competitive and mandatory requirements.
