About
A Disciplined Approach to Residential Development.
A residential land developer focused on the work that precedes vertical construction.
Who We Are
1893 Development Group was established to pursue residential land development opportunities where strong market fundamentals, appropriate land basis, housing demand, infrastructure feasibility, and capital can be brought together.
The company operates as a residential land developer — a horizontal developer. Its role is to acquire or control suitable land, complete due diligence and entitlement work, coordinate planning and engineering, develop the required horizontal infrastructure, and ultimately deliver finished residential lots and development opportunities to homebuilders.
What We Do
The company's scope spans land acquisition and land control, due diligence, zoning and entitlements, platting and municipal coordination, civil engineering and planning, project capitalization, site development and horizontal infrastructure, and finished lot delivery.
1893 Development Group does not build homes. Vertical construction is performed by homebuilders, and specialized engineering and construction work is performed by qualified third-party professionals retained for individual projects.
How We Think
Underwriting before enthusiasm.
Residential land development rewards patience and precision. Land basis, entitlement risk, infrastructure cost, development schedule, lot pricing, and absorption all move together — and a project is only as sound as the assumptions beneath them.
Opportunities are evaluated on project-level underwriting rather than optimism. Where the numbers, the approvals, the infrastructure, and the builder demand do not align, the company is prepared to pass.

Our Principles
How the company operates.
Integrity
Straightforward dealing with landowners, builders, municipalities, and capital partners.
Execution
Plans are only valuable when they are delivered — on schedule, on budget, and to specification.
Capital Discipline
Projects are underwritten conservatively, with attention to land basis, cost, and downside scenarios.
Partnership
Development is a coordinated effort among engineers, contractors, builders, lenders, and communities.
Accountability
Clear ownership of decisions, obligations, and outcomes at every stage of a project.
Long-Term Thinking
Communities outlast development schedules; decisions are made with that horizon in mind.
