Building Communities
One Lot at a Time
We are the trusted, visionary residential land development firm, specializing in efficient land acquisition, de-risking zoning, and delivering pad-ready lots to top homebuilders across the Richmond region.
We Deliver Speed, Certainty, and Premium Value
Why work with us? It’s simple. We eliminate the biggest friction points in land development so you can achieve your goals faster.
The Problem: Traditional rezoning and due diligence processes can drag on for two years or more, tying up capital and delaying residential growth.
Our Solution: We leverage a top-tier legal team and deep relationships with local planning and zoning bodies to drastically shorten the timeline. We routinely close in 6 months, while others are still waiting.
The Result: Sellers get to close fast and move on. Homebuilders and investors receive certainty and pad-ready lots that are instantly buildable, maximizing their capital efficiency.
The Bottom Line: We take the risk so you don't have to.
Land Aquisition
Our process is designed for speed and clarity for land sellers:
Targeted Assessment: We perform Phase 1 environmental studies and wetland delineations to quickly identify and mitigate risks.
Conceptual Planning: Engineers create attractive, viable conceptual site plans.
Expedited Offer & Due Diligence: We put forth an attractive written offer and, thanks to our expertise in comprehensive plan compliance, we minimize the time needed to get the land under contract and through the due diligence phase.
Infastructure
We manage the entire lifecycle to deliver fully prepared sites:
- Buying the land, clearing and grading the site.
- Obtaining necessary rezoning approvals (entitlement).
- Building infrastructure like roads, sidewalks, amenities, and utility hookups (sewage, water, etc.).
- Delivering pad-ready lots for homebuilders to begin vertical construction immediately.
