Lingerfelt sources development opportunities through a robust network of brokers, landowners, municipalities, and corporate partners. Our deep roots in target markets and reputation for execution allow us early access to high-potential sites—often before they come to market. We focus on locations backed by long-term demand drivers, ensuring each development begins with a strong foundation for future success.
Entitle
Lingerfelt brings decades of entitlement expertise to every development, managing land use, zoning, and regulatory approvals with precision and foresight. We work closely with local governments, planning boards, and community stakeholders to streamline the process and align project goals with municipal priorities. Our proactive approach minimizes risk, accelerates timelines, and positions each project for long-term success from day one.
Underwrite
Once a qualified opportunity is identified, the Lingerfelt team moves swiftly and decisively. Our fully integrated platform, industry experience, data-driven market knowledge, and time-tested industry relationships together enable us to underwrite development opportunities with an extremely high level of conservatism. With decades of experience across market cycles, we bring a sophisticated understanding of asset performance, risk mitigation, and long-term value creation. Our highly detail-oriented Due Diligence standards delve into every detail – large and small – of each potential project, well in advance of any investor capital going at risk. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of each potential development are vetted aggressively, with only those opportunities possessing the highest upside and limited downside proceeding towards ground-breaking.
Design
Lingerfelt collaborates with leading architects, engineers, and consultants to create spaces that are not only visually compelling but also operationally efficient and market-ready. Every design decision—from site planning to interior layout—is made with intention, ensuring our developments meet the evolving needs of tenants, enhance user experience, and withstand the test of time. We prioritize sustainability, flexibility, and future-forward thinking in every project we bring to life.
Acquire
Our acquisition strategy for development is rooted in market foresight and executional agility. We identify and secure land sites with strong fundamentals—growth-oriented demographics, infrastructure accessibility, and entitlement feasibility. Whether it's an urban infill lot or a suburban parcel with large-scale potential, we structure each deal to support build-to-suit, ground-up, or mixed-use development aligned with long-term market demand.
Build
With decades of construction oversight experience, Lingerfelt manages each build with disciplined execution and an unwavering focus on quality. Our team collaborates closely with contractors, engineers, and consultants to ensure every milestone is met—on time and on budget. From site prep to final walkthrough, we take a proactive, hands-on approach to problem-solving and quality control, delivering institutional-grade assets that stand the test of time.
Manage
Lingerfelt’s management team is engaged early in the development process to ensure seamless transitions from construction to stabilization. By integrating asset and property management at the outset, we optimize building performance, enhance tenant experience, and protect long-term value. Our proactive, data-informed approach ensures every development operates efficiently, aligns with market demands, and delivers on investment objectives.
Lease
Lingerfelt approaches lease-up with a deep understanding of market demand, tenant expectations, and asset positioning. Our team works alongside top brokerage partners to secure high-quality tenants that align with the asset’s intended use and long-term business strategy. From pre-leasing through stabilization, we craft thoughtful leasing plans that enhance occupancy, optimize tenant mix, and maximize asset performance from day one.
Sell
When a development reaches stabilization or achieves its highest value, Lingerfelt evaluates disposition opportunities through a strategic, data-informed lens. We time exits to align with market conditions and investor goals, ensuring each sale is executed with precision and discretion. Whether selling to institutional buyers or long-term operators, our goal is to unlock maximum value and reinvest in the next wave of high-performing developments.
