Real Estate Development

Land acquisition through final CO — spec homes and small-scale developments.

Design and build development project delivered by ARS Home Improvement
Overview

We partner with investors, landowners, and family offices on small-scale residential development across Bergen County and the surrounding region. From identifying a parcel to handing over a finished home with a CO, we run the build side of the deal so you can focus on capital and disposition.

  • Single-lot spec homes and tear-downs
  • Small subdivisions and infill development
  • Joint ventures with landowners and capital partners
  • Hard-cost transparency and fixed-fee construction management

How We Work

OurProcess.

  1. 01

    Underwriting Support

    Send us the lot. We'll give you real hard-cost numbers, a buildable program, and a schedule you can plug into your pro forma — before you bid.

  2. 02

    Design & Approvals

    We coordinate with your architect (or ours) to get to permit-ready drawings, then push the project through municipal approvals and any required board appearances.

  3. 03

    Construction

    Fixed-fee or open-book construction management — your call. Weekly draws, photo updates, and a single point of accountability through CO.

  4. 04

    Disposition

    We finish to a sales-ready standard, coordinate stager and photography, and hand over a clean property with documented warranties.

Common Questions

Asked &Answered.

Do you co-invest, or are you a fee builder?
Both, depending on the deal. We've taken straight construction-management contracts and we've co-invested alongside capital partners on the right projects. Tell us the structure you're working with and we'll be straight about whether we can play.
What size deals do you work on?
Single-lot spec builds up to small subdivisions. We're not a tract-home outfit — our sweet spot is one to a handful of high-quality residential builds where the finish level matters.
Can you help find the lot?
We're not a brokerage, but we know the towns we work in and the relationships in them. If you're hunting in Bergen County, send us what you're looking at and we'll give you our honest read on buildability.
