Introduction

From Land to Community.

Successful residential development begins well before vertical construction. Long before a single home is framed, land must be sourced and controlled, feasibility tested, entitlements secured, infrastructure engineered, and capital structured around a defined development schedule.

1893 Development Group focuses on the acquisition, planning, entitlement, capitalization, and horizontal development of residential land. Through disciplined underwriting and coordinated execution, the company seeks to create finished residential lots and development opportunities positioned to meet the requirements of regional and national homebuilders.

The company develops land and infrastructure. Vertical home construction is performed by homebuilders.

Builder Alignment

Development With the End User in Mind.

1893 Development Group seeks opportunities where development plans can be aligned with demonstrated housing demand and homebuilder requirements — lot dimensions, product segmentation, infrastructure standards, delivery schedules, phasing, and anticipated absorption.

Where appropriate, projects may incorporate builder purchase agreements, phased lot takedowns, development agreements, or other structures that provide greater visibility into future lot demand.
