Land Development

Miller & Smith’s Land Development Group specializes in acquiring, zoning, entitling and developing land into highly marketable residential and commercial developments.

We successfully manage and navigate all facets of the development process for residential, mixed-use, infill, retail, redevelopment, resort, commercial, industrial, active-adult, water-oriented and rental properties.

Creating Value. Instilling Confidence.

Our proven ability to solve complex problems and our flexibility in structuring transactions make us the go-to developer for local jurisdictions, land sellers and development partners.

We are experts at managing the intricacies of project phasing in order to minimize costs and maximize revenue generation. We’re also adept at managing and scheduling and all of the contractors necessary to bring a job in on time and on budget.

Local governments look at our body of work and know that a Miller & Smith development will be a positive addition to their community. Consequently, our reputation opens doors and enables us to work through approval processes faster to get jobs started sooner.
