Our Mission
At 3rd Wave Development, we believe great real estate is rooted in connection—to people, to place, and to long-term vision. Our focus on placemaking delivers high-performing environments where residents, businesses, and investors all thrive. From multifamily and workforce housing to urban commercial and data-driven infrastructure, our developments are designed to elevate daily life and endure across generations.
Our Approach
Decades in multifaceted real estate taught us that great communities are engineered, not improvised.

- Structure & Finance – Creative capital stacks align stakeholder interests while de-risking schedules and budgets.
