We eagerly take on the most challenging opportunities, collaborating closely with landowners and public officials to establish highly successful neighborhoods, oftentimes where other developers may not see potential.

EYA’s capabilities span for-sale homebuilding, multifamily and mixed-income residential, mixed-use development, and public-private partnerships. We employ a vertically integrated strategy in our homebuilding business and have multifamily and mixed-use capabilities from stick-built to high-rise construction and amenity-focused retail development. We have significant expertise in horizontal development / infrastructure installation and oversee site development operations to deliver development-ready pads for ourselves and, occasionally, for select partners.
Our team of over 100 dedicated experts has built a particular focus in commercial to residential transformations, retail densification, mixed-income housing, and large-scale master planning.
