Land Development &
Acquisition
Building new in Washington DC is a different discipline from renovating an existing home. Zoning, historic district boundaries, lot constraints, and matter-of-right limits all need to be understood before an offer goes in on a piece of land. We work with investors, owner-builders, and developers on feasibility, due diligence, and ground-up construction for infill and redevelopment projects across the District.
Our Process
- Feasibility & due diligence — zoning analysis, lot study, historic district check, and a rough construction estimate before you go to contract.
- Design & entitlements — architect coordination, plan development, and permit strategy including any required zoning relief.
- Site work & foundation — demolition (where needed), excavation, utilities, and foundation work — the foundation of a successful build.
- Vertical construction & delivery — framing, systems, finishes, and final inspections through to certificate of occupancy.
DC Zoning Expertise:
We know matter-of-right limits, historic district overlays, and where zoning relief is realistic.
Pre-Acquisition Reviews:
Feasibility studies before you commit — what can really be built, at what cost, and on what timeline.
Ground-Up Construction:
From excavation and foundation through framing, systems, and finishes — managed as one continuous project.
Investor-Friendly Reporting:
Clear milestone reporting, draw schedules, and budget tracking suited to construction lenders and partners.
