Developing prime residential real estate takes research and planning. The first step in the development process is finding attractive property. The development group needs to select property that has unique natural amenities, or contains a specific terrain, this is beneficial and adds to the overall theme that a development group is establishing. Pivotal’s knowledge and experience in property selection has been proven by their development in the western region of the United States. Pivotal pinpoints growing areas around the US and begins planning residential developments. Finding lucrative property within these areas allows Pivotal to develop master planned communities that meet the high expectations of their residents. Pivotal has been successful developing residential areas in both downtown and suburban locations. The specific location of the property is not as important as what the property offers residents. There are many categories within the property that have to provide a balance making the property an ideal development opportunity.

Edmunds and Associates to design and construct the homes within the community. This partnership resulted in beautiful custom homes ranging from $1.5-3 million dollars. These types of results are what Pivotal uses to attract investors from all over the United States. The relationships with builders that Pivotal establishes and maintains allow them to replicate these results.
