About
An Arizona development company built on taste and discipline.
Community Development Homes sources, evaluates and develops luxury residential opportunities in Arizona. Our focus includes new homes for sale, estate renovations and expansions for resale, premium infill, small subdivisions and select luxury residential communities. We bring together property analysis, development leadership and experienced construction partners.
Our role
What we actually do
Luxury residential opportunity sourcing, underwriting, development management, governance, and stakeholder reporting across Arizona.
The work begins long before a shovel: sourcing opportunities, reading them honestly, underwriting them, structuring the project entity, assembling and coordinating the professional team, and reporting to the people with a stake in the outcome.
Our focus is Arizona, with an initial concentration in the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale area: luxury spec homes, estate remodels and expansions, premium infill development, small subdivisions, and luxury residential communities.
Leadership
The people behind CDH
Peter Lupus
President, Community Development Homes
Peter leads CDH's property sourcing, underwriting, development planning, investor relationships and project oversight through sale. He brings real estate operating scale, including $1.2 billion in brokerage transaction volume over a 12-month period, and extensive experience building technology and transaction platforms across real estate, title, mortgage and lending.
Bill Knutson
Principal, Community Development Homes
Bill leads construction through Community Development Construction (CDC), the Arizona luxury builder behind more than 200 luxury homes and more than $500 million in project value. His spec-home work showed him how strongly construction cost and schedule shape development profit, and since 2018 CDC has refined its project management and trade coordination on luxury custom homes. Bill brings that perspective to CDH's feasibility, budgeting and scheduling decisions.
Bill also owns CDC, CDH's construction partner. The two companies operate separately, and each project defines their roles, compensation and responsibilities.
Fewer projects, held to a higher standard.
We would rather decline an opportunity than deliver a compromised residence. That discipline is what allows us to bring exceptional professionals to the table and keep them there.
How we operate
Judgment before enthusiasm
An opportunity is underwritten before it is championed. What is known, what is estimated, and what is unresolved are stated plainly.
Design is the asset
The residence is the product. Architecture, material and siting decisions are made with the buyer and the setting in mind, not the spreadsheet alone.
Decisions that survive the meeting
Approvals, authority and reasoning are recorded, so a project can be explained months later exactly as it was decided.
Roles kept clean
We develop, coordinate and govern. Independent professionals design, engineer, advise and build.
