Featured Projects
With over 15,000 home sites across 30+ communities, the firm has developed major commercial projects—including office parks, retail centers, hotels, marinas, and golf courses—alongside essential infrastructure like water treatment plants, rail systems, and bridges.
In the early 2000s, an investment in Croatia inspired a shift from formulaic development to a village-based philosophy called NeoRetroism—creating self-sustaining communities where people can live, work, and move seamlessly. The first example of this vision is Adriatica Village near Dallas, TX.
