FirstService Residential provides expert guidance to many of Houston’s most prominent residential developers to help bring their visions to life. Our experienced Houston developer services team has a successful track record of working with development companies, from conception through build-out and transition, to add value to their planned communities and ensure their marketability and long-term financial stability.
With over 25 years of experience with the developer projects, FirstService Residential Texas thoroughly understands the complex design, legal and operational requirements of planning and developing desirable communities, and can provide valuable local insights on the your target market.
For instance, the dynamics of covenant-restricted communities in Houston are always changing due to several factors: land availability, market trends, and increased requirements mandated by changing legislation. That’s why it is vital for developers to create community associations with supporting documentation that is well-researched, forward-thinking and legally compliant.
Supporting Developers at Each Stage of Development
Our local developer services team will typically begin working with you at the earliest stages of development, prior to recording the governing documents, to gain a better understanding of the entire project including product offerings, sales projections, land characteristics, and association involvement. As the project advances, we can leverage our extensive experience in planning and association management to guide you through the project issues commonly faced by residential developers. In addition, we can help you plan the most desired amenities and luxuries to enhance your community’s marketability, safety, property values, and sustained viability.
