Elevating visionary new development communities

Large-scale residential development consulting for master-planned, high-rise, mixed-use

At FirstService Development Advisors, we specialize in guiding large scale residential developers through the creation of diverse and visionary communities. With a consulting portfolio spanning complex master-planned communities, special and community development districts, ultra-luxury high-rise residences, and mixed-use properties, our expertise prioritizes your investment goals at every stage.
 
In response to growing demand, we formed a specialized consulting team to partner with visionaries shaping these communities, incorporating property management best practices and enhancing resident experiences early in the process.

By engaging FirstService Development Advisors early, residential land developers leverage our operational expertise to make informed decisions that elevate buyer demand, resident satisfaction, and property values. This proactive approach creates thoughtfully designed, efficient communities with exceptional and desired experiences. Partnering with landowners, developers, and stakeholders, we serve as trusted advisors from concept to completion, delivering best-in-class communities and building lasting legacies.
 

Turning vision into reality

We partner with developers to transform ambitious concepts into thriving communities.
