Development with a Moral Imperative

As long time residents, business owners, and community stakeholders of Washington, DC, we have made a conscious decision to actively participate in the development business. That important distinction sets us apart from our competition, and renders us uniquely qualified to provide complete project development for our clients. We like to be involved early on, offering services from needs assessment through funding, design, and construction. We are eager to play a role in all phases of planning through execution. We meet the highly specialized needs of our clients by providing a full range of development, redevelopment, project management and build-to-suit services. We possess both the land and building development expertise to make the term "full service" a reality.

DDG offers the entrepreneurial agility, the management strength and the financial depth to make it a reality in record time. Whether you choose to lease or own, we will build to suit your immediate needs and your long-term financial goals.  

Investors and property owners look to DDG for advice in analyzing their current strategies, assessing opportunities and structuring their investments in commercial real estate. Our experience as a developer, contractor, property manager, and owner gives DDG a broad perspective that can be tailored to each client's individual needs. .  

To successfully sell or lease property, you really need to know who is most likely to sell or lease that property. We believe in knowing the market better than anyone else. That means knowing what is going to happen as well as what has happened. By combining that knowledge with our client's goals, we are able to develop a plan that is strategically sound. That plan is implemented with a respect for the reality that time is money. Our focus is on keeping your asset positioned in a manner that, based on your goals, maximizes its potential in the marketplace and its value. DDG is dedicated to making a full-service commitment. We understand that every step in the process demands the same level of sophistication - from opening the dialog to closing the transaction.

 We can't help taking our role in management personally. We keep reminding ourselves that our success is the direct result of the success we achieve for the clients we serve. This is why we treat each client's property with the same sense of responsibility as if it were our own. 

In the field of property management, our philosophy is based on forming close partnerships with our clients. It begins with an acute understanding of our clients' goals and how we can meet or exceed their objectives.

Each property is assigned a customized team of management professionals from the appropriate disciplines within our organization. The focus of your tailor made team is to successfully implement a detailed property strategy that delivers real value to you, the property owner. Likewise with a single point of contact, you have personal focus on your questions and your asset.

Our property management team handles all duties from creating budgets to managing the accounts receivable  and  payable  processes, to implementing  on-going maintenance schedules and addressing day-to-day opportunities. Monthly you will receive customized, detailed reports summarizing your asset's performance.

Our Construction Services division employs the most advanced and innovative estimating and construction management techniques to achieve practical, cost-effective solutions designed and built for function and value. Our project experience, our commitment to relationship building, and our financial strength assure that your tenant improvement, shell construction, or turnkey project will be delivered faster, easier, and with greater value. And chances are, you will come back to DDG for your next construction project. 

  DDG understands the intricate and varied ways to build wealth through commercial real estate. We are equipped to evaluate an opportunity quickly and, if there is upside potential (if our mix of management skills and financial resources can add value), we are prepared to act - decisively.
