Multi-Family Apartments/Condominiums Single Family Residences Residential Development

Residential Development

We have developed both 'spec' houses and small housing tracts.  We have also built custom housing.  We also build apartments and condominiums.

However we specialize in upgrading existing housing, i.e. to expand the square footage via a horizontal expansion of the footprint, or a vertical expansion by adding floors, or wings above existing structures; or even a combination of both. Concurrent with the expansion would naturally be the upgrading of the kitchen and bath areas and in many projects the reorientation of the floor plan.

Our housing services are primarily geared towards acquisition rehab and infill development, converting substandard housing and vacant lots into their highest and best residential use. Typical projects include small development sites that can be completed within 18 months, and larger 6-20 unit lots to be completed within 36 months.

Our market-rate housing projects will target the working sector population and draw support from organizations that assist in developing affordable workforce housing. Partnerships with local governments will potentially involve expedited rezoning assistance or variances that support development of special housing types.

Projects that are conducive to mixed income residences will feature a high quality of design for both low-income and market-rate units, intermixing structures to prevent persons from readily distinguishing them (apart from examining rent rolls). Cities have long advocated for this genre of housing to be produced by private sector developers as a means of bringing needed investment into underserved and blighted areas.
