— DEVELOPMENT
The Foundation of Everything We Build
Development isn't just a step in the process: it's the engine that powers every BETTER project.
Why Development Matters
Development is the behind-the-scenes force that shapes feasibility, speed, and quality. We don't offer it as a standalone service because smart development decisions made early determine everything that follows.
Where others see regulatory hurdles, we see collaboration opportunities. Our deep knowledge of by-right development means we can often identify clear paths forward, but when needed, we work with cities and stakeholders to turn roadblocks into stepping stones.
Local Expertise & Smart Strategies
Successful development is about choosing the right tools for the right site. Our value lies in knowing how to combine regulations, design, and market insight to unlock the best outcome.
We prioritize by-right development paths whenever possible, streamlining approvals and reducing uncertainty. When projects align with existing zoning, we can move faster and with more predictability.
We know the Triangle’s Unified Development Ordinances inside and out, and we apply that knowledge with purpose. Sometimes a simple two-lot subdivision makes sense. Other times, optimizing for rentals, creating a small lot, or a pair of attached homes yields more units and stronger value.
We work through infill standards, stormwater rules, utility easements, and zoning overlays with ease. But maximizing density isn’t always the goal. We tailor each product to the neighborhood’s character, demand, and economics, focusing on true livability rather than replicating what already exists.
We design with context in mind. In for-sale markets, that may mean larger backyards. In rental-focused areas, it may mean strategic density. Our approach always centers on what serves future residents and the surrounding community best.
From Plan to Reality
No handoffs. No miscommunications. No delays.
BETTER takes projects from first handshakes to completed builds. Our Development, Construction, and Brokerage teams work as one. When the same people navigating subdivision and permitting are also the ones building and selling, every decision serves the complete vision.
Building Communities, Not Just Lots
Development is our blueprint for creating pocket neighborhoods and accessible communities. We're not just maximizing square footage, we're creating spaces where people want to live and invest.
Every decision considers lasting value for the community, not just immediate returns.
