Our Partners
At Fresh Water Development, we believe that a vital part of transforming urban landscapes is understanding that everyone deserves a dwelling built to high standards no matter if they are at home, at work or at play.
We think smart, purpose-driven development and the partnership of diverse and passionate people result in communities that are changed for the better. And we believe this requires experience, discipline, a strong understanding of the market and sensitivity to express the vision of the anchoring partners.
We Know Experience Matters.
For over 15 years, we have been involved in a wide range of projects that have given us a depth and breadth of experience that cannot be matched in our region.
As a result of our experience, we are experts in the intricacies of urban transformation, such as multi-partner collaboration, negotiation, zoning, financing, faith-based and community needs, to name just a few. When you have been involved in more than 500 urban acquisitions and projects, you understand how to avoid and solve problems so that risk is minimized and long-term success is optimized.
We Take A Disciplined Approach.
We take a long-term approach to development, investment, and ownership. We are selective, deliberate and conservative to ensure that we are adding value and deploying the right resources so that the projects we develop will be viable and successful for many decades. Our business model requires long-term vision and thorough, thoughtful planning that considers every aspect of development, including bringing on the right partners and mitigating risk.
We Understand the Market
Our leadership team at Fresh Water Development has owned, developed and invested in properties where we live. We understand that while Flint and Genesee County are connected in many ways, they are two very distinct areas with their own vision, challenges, movers and shakers, and community needs. Because we are an integral part of these distinct communities, we constantly track the social, political and financial dynamics. That’s something firms outside of the area are not able to do, and it enables us to successfully work on small collaborations and multi-million dollar projects with high efficiency and quality.
