Powell Development Group is dedicated to transforming communities through thoughtful, sustainable development. We strive to create innovative housing solutions that meet the needs of today’s residents while enhancing the neighborhoods we serve. With a commitment to quality, integrity, and collaboration, we aim to deliver exceptional value to our investors, partners, and the communities in which we operate.
Powell Development Group focuses on unlocking the full potential of underutilized urban properties through strategic infill development. These prime locations are in high demand due to their proximity to jobs, services, and infrastructure. By concentrating on infill projects, we minimize the risks associated with sprawl and greenfield development, such as extended permitting timelines, higher infrastructure costs, and lower market demand.
Our strategy is driven by a deep understanding of market demand, particularly in Salt Lake City, where rapid population growth has led to a significant housing shortage. As one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the U.S., Salt Lake City attracts people with its strong economy, high quality of life, and access to outdoor recreation. However, this growth has outpaced the construction of new housing, creating a serious imbalance between supply and demand.
By leveraging our expertise in land entitlement, design, and construction, we maximize investor returns while adhering to smart growth principles. Our disciplined approach balances risk with opportunity, ensuring every project delivers lasting value for all stakeholders.
We seek properties in high-demand areas with strong growth potential, focusing on infill locations that are close to transportation, amenities, and employment centers.
Targeting sites where zoning or entitlement work has potential for added value through densification or rezoning for higher use, ensuring efficient project timelines.
We analyze market conditions to identify areas where there is an unmet demand for townhomes or multi-unit residential developments, aligning projects with demographic trends.
Prior to acquisition, we conduct thorough due diligence on infrastructure, environmental conditions, and existing structures to ensure cost-effective and timely development.
Ensuring projects align with our investor’s risk appetite and return expectations, targeting a balanced portfolio with projected returns of 15%-20% IRR to our limited partners.
