As the DC metro’s leading real estate development and managing company, Real DC Development (RDD) is comprised of a team that understands the area’s high demand, market stability, economic consistency and unique characteristics, allowing us to build the foundation for a company with high growth potential in a very short period of time. It’s what makes us “Your Capital Investment Firm,” and your go-to source for real estate development. Every member of the company has local connections with the region, and they’re not just financially invested in the projects—there’s plenty of personal investment, too. Add to the mix the rebounding housing market and stabilizing US market, and that’s a recipe for a symbiotic relationship for all.
Real estate development, management and investment largely focuses on the purchasing and renovation of existing buildings and/or land, as well as brand new construction. That’s what keeps things exciting. It also takes the right blend of experts to make up the perfect development company, from inspectors and engineers to architects and leasing agents, and plenty of others that add just the right amount of know-how. There are two primary things we do at RDD: short term and long term projects. Also known as “flipping,” short term projects last six months or less. Long term projects can last over a year and involve anything from building a brand new condo to lease management of a property for several years.
At Real DC Development, we know the ins and outs of all things development and real estate investment related. We’ve been there, built that, but are always on the lookout for the next exciting project. Whether it’s re-leasing existing buildings, completely flipping a historic piece of property or raw land development where you can watch things literally rise from the ground up, we do it all.
Our pros take care of the marketing, that red tape that DC is notorious for, management and leasing or selling. We also offer investment opportunities for domestic and foreign investors who want to get a slice of DC development. Far from a new concept, real estate investment is a key component of development has been a staple for decades. However, it was developer Louis Lesser who really made strides when he waxed poetic about real estate development in a New York Times piece from 1963
“Developing is the key word,” he noted. “We don’t build ourselves—we buy the land, finance the deal, and then we have the best builders build under bond at a fixed cost.” Investing is a great way to enjoy a limited liability approach, multiple exit strategies and foreign investors help give an overall boost to the US economy, too.
There’s no denying that the DC area is a truly unique region, with a smorgasbord of development opportunities. And there’s nothing like being a part of building or investing in the heart of the nation—or keeping it pumping for that matter. However, we’re not going to stop at the capitol. We have plans to expand out of DC, heading to the opposite coast and to a variety of markets. It only makes sense to start at the core of the country before reaching for the next opportunity in a new region.
