Venture Development Consulting is a land use and development advisory firm providing market based analysis and guidance to its clients to assist them in making sound investment decisions and maximize return on investment. We specialize in urban and suburban infill residential and mixed-use development and redevelopment properties. With almost 30 years experience in land acquisition, disposition, entitlement, site development, construction, marketing and design we understand your business and glean from our wealth of hands-on and boots on the ground experience to provide you with the best guidance available. Our experience provides expert guidance in product development, land planning, marketing and positioning. We can help navigate the complex process of entitlement and permitting.
Whether you are developing a large master planned community in the suburbs, a mixed use project in town or a single home on an in-fill lot, knowing your target audience and its desires and positioning your project accordingly is what makes a project successful. We work on your behalf to uncover the nuances of the respective market knowing that no two markets are the same and buyer profiles can change dramatically even from block to block. We give you the power of a full time marketing and research department available to you when you need it. With a wealth of historic data coupled with staying abreast of trends we are able to quickly pull together the information you need to make the best decisions for your project in a timely and cost effective manner.
There are plenty of consulting firms that offer broad housing data and statistics. While that can be beneficial, what makes us different it that we focus on the details. Instead of tracking averages, we look at specifics. The specifics that will give you the information you need to make good acquisition and development choices. We look at actual land, lot and home sales prices, floor plans and finishes, targeted consumers and their preferences and then work with you to position your project to stand out among the competition and maximize return on investment. Having built and developed in the past with full P&L responsibility we understand your business and make recommendations based on practicality and future profitability rather than solely academic or aesthetic recommendations of those without similar experiences.
