What we do (and Why)

TREK Development Group is a regional industry leader in the development and management of residential, commercial and mixed-use real estate. Since our founding in 1992, we built a successful organization by embracing 3 basic values/practices: Responsibility, Seeking to Understand and Humility

We are intently focused on:

Environmental sustainability
Historic Preservation
Developing in transitional neighborhoods where our investment adds momentum to past investments and catalyzes additional investment
Creating affordable, mixed-income and mixed-use housing
Creating more livable communities for all (regardless of age, income, race or class)
Re-urbanization (vital urban core). Infill vs. Greenfield
Our Triple Aim Effort: of fostering an aspirational operating culture designed to create the kind of co-investment among owners, staff and residents needed to achieve both individual and community transformation
Collaboration/Alignment with schools, parks, foundations, government, and non-profit partners

Focus, Urgency, and Follow-through

TREK practices responsible development and management by always proceeding with a clear direction, setting reasonable expectations, and being accountable to an agreed-upon result. TREK delivers top-quality results that are both on-time and on-budget and maintains a firm and active presence over the communities it manages into the future.
‍
By remaining dedicated to high-quality community management, TREK has transformed neighborhoods historically afflicted by decades of disinvestment and decline. Its current portfolio maintains occupancy rates of 98%, thanks to high-quality site selection, professional management, and excellence in construction and design.

Seeking to Understand

TREK has extensive experience working with both complex financial structures in conventional capital markets and smaller public & private groups. Projects are developed with long-term ownership in mind and a commitment to executing sustainable solutions to numerous real estate development challenges. Results are achieved through asking questions, active listening and always remaining curious about better ways to operate and aspirational visions for the communities we serve.

Humility

TREK seeks value in all communities (especially from less likely sources) and looks for opportunities to contribute its time, talent, and treasure. We remain interested in all feedback we receive, ignore prejudices, and attempt to keep our minds open to new ideas. “Humility creates more oxygen for others to participate and come together and make a change. If you think you already know everything or act as you do, other people with check out and things won’t get done as quickly or as well”. (Shoemaker).
