Lupe Development Partners, LLC

Real estate development is part art, part science, part finance and part patience. Projects typically take two or more years to bring from concept to completion. In the urban core, challenges such as zoning regulation and brownfield clean up can derail many good concepts. A developer must be adept at overcoming these challenges while keeping the project on budget. Often, breaking ground is a celebration of years of planning and preparation. At Lupe Development, our team has a unique blend of public and private sector experience that has yielded an enviable 25-year record of success.

Whether it’s new construction or renovation, Lupe Development builds with quality and durability at a variety of price points. Care and attention to the “guts” of a building make for a home of lasting value. Our buyers, renters and vendors appreciate the extra time and money that we put into our buildings to add comfort and livability – some of which may not even be seen. Energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems, top name appliances, high-quality components and careful attention to sound isolation are just a few of the standards of Lupe Development.

Exciting and innovative architecture, engineering and design is a hallmark of our project work. We work with some of the top architecture and design firms in the market. Lupe Development projects feature big windows, high ceilings, and a variety of non-traditional flooring materials like concrete, recycled plastics, sustainable wood products and ceramics.

Environmentally responsible design is a cornerstone of our development philosophy. We subscribe to urban design practices that discourage sprawl and encourage reuse and reclamation of valuable city land. Lupe Development specializes in cleaning and reusing contaminated land for multi-use residential properties. The selection of energy efficient lighting, mechanical and appliance components, energy audit design, and sustainable practices during construction promote conservation, reuse and efficient use of our limited natural resources. Lupe Development has completed solar projects in numerous buildings.

An essential part of our development portfolio includes a commitment to affordable housing. Partnering with a variety of government and private equity providers, Lupe is active in the planning, provisioning and development of quality rental housing with a variety of price points. Our affordable housing projects receive the same attention to materials, design and construction detail as our market-rate products.

Thriving communities are accessible to the services and amenities people need. Lupe Development prioritizes transportation connections in its projects, primarily developing along transit, bike and pedestrian corridors. Transit-oriented communities offer improved livability and help create more vibrant neighborhoods. Our focus on connections is also prevalent in the amenities we provide from access to walking trails and multimodal ‘woonerfs’ (living streets) to bike storage and repair areas.
