Community Development Homes

Our collective

Exceptional projects require exceptional people.

Community Development Homes brings together accomplished professionals across architecture, interior design, land planning, engineering, construction execution, project oversight, legal and finance. Each team is selected for the specific site, market, design vision and execution requirements of the project.

Conceptual illustration

We surround every opportunity with talent equal to it.

We assemble the team, set the standard, hold the schedule and the budget, and keep every decision documented. The professionals we engage are independent firms chosen for the demands of a particular opportunity — not a fixed roster applied to every site.

Peter Lupus, President leads Community Development Homes. Design, engineering, legal, accounting and construction work is performed by independent professionals engaged for each project. Community Development Homes sources, underwrites, coordinates and governs the work.

Disciplines

The expertise assembled around a site.

01

Architecture and land planning

Design that begins with the land.

Residential architects and land planners who read a site before they draw it — orientation, grade, view corridors, shade, arrival, and the rhythm of a neighbourhood as it is lived in rather than plotted.

  • Arizona desert and hillside residential experience
  • Command of massing, light and material at a luxury standard
  • Community planning that considers circulation, amenity and longevity

02

Interior design and material direction

Restraint, warmth, and materials that age well.

Interior designers who set a coherent material language for the residence — stone, timber, plaster, metal and light — and specify it precisely enough to be built without drift.

  • A defined point of view rather than a catalogue
  • Specification discipline that survives procurement
  • Fluency with the buyer the residence is designed for

03

Engineering and entitlement

The unglamorous work that decides whether a project happens.

Civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, surveyors and entitlement counsel who establish access, utilities, grading, drainage and the approval path before enthusiasm outruns feasibility.

  • Municipal fluency across greater Phoenix and Scottsdale
  • Realistic approval sequencing and timing
  • Early identification of what a site cannot support

04

Construction execution and project oversight

Construction planning, quality and schedule oversight.

Construction is carried out by an independent construction company under the project entity, with project-management and owner-representation support engaged where scope or schedule warrants it.

  • Luxury residential quality control and finish standards
  • Transparent budget and change management
  • Field reporting we can hand to project participants

05

Legal, accounting and financial controls

Structure before capital, records before reporting.

Independent legal, accounting, title and consulting professionals who set the project entity, the approval controls, and the reporting basis so that every figure released can be traced to its source.

  • Entity and governance structuring for single-project ventures
  • Documented approval and authority controls
  • Reporting that stands up to review

Recognition

Professional recognition, only where it is earned and documented

Project teams may include award-recognized architecture, interior design and development professionals selected for the demands of each opportunity.

Recognition is attributed to the party that actually received it, with documentation and the recipient’s permission on file before anything appears here.
