What We Do

Three Divisions.
One System.

Development, construction, and subcontractor partnership, coordinated under one roof so that more of the margin and every key decision stay inside 3D.

01
Division One

3D Development

Ground-Up · Mixed-Use · Workforce Housing · PILOT · LIHTC · ASPIRE

We acquire, entitle, and develop ground-up multifamily and mixed-use projects across Northern NJ. We target 21–60 unit deals where local relationships, MWBE certification, and deep incentive program fluency create value that outside developers cannot easily replicate.

Our long-standing relationships with property owners, brokers, community institutions, and local leadership across Newark give us access to off-market opportunities before they reach the broker market, and we actively pursue public RFPs. That is a structural sourcing advantage built over decades, not months.

PILOT, LIHTC, ASPIRE, and HUD/HMFA programs are underwritten into every eligible deal from day one — not layered on after the fact. That is the difference between deals that pencil and deals that don't.

Division Two — Construction Cost Advantage

The GC Margin
Stays Inside
the Deal.

Most real estate developers pay a general contractor 10–20% of hard construction costs to build their projects. That margin leaves the deal — and flows to a third party. At 3D Development, our own contracting arm serves as general contractor on our projects wherever financing, bonding, and project scale allow. When it does, that margin stays inside the deal.

This is not just a cost savings — it is a structural capital advantage. On any meaningful deal, the GC margin recaptured represents a significant share of the equity return. It also gives us direct control over cost and schedule, with fewer handoffs and change order disputes between owner and builder.

Construction costs are underwritten deal-by-deal using current market pricing. We do not apply generic per-square-foot benchmarks — we build a scope-specific cost model for every project, based on actual labor market conditions, material pricing, and site constraints. That precision comes from running construction ourselves.

100% Construction cost visibility

Direct scope control from the start

Construction cost assumptions are deal-specific and provided in project-level investment materials. We do not publish generic per-square-foot benchmarks because NJ multifamily construction costs are scope, market, and timing-dependent. Running construction through our own contracting arm gives us cost clarity that outside developers rarely have, and that clarity is the underwriting advantage.

Division Two

3D General Contracting

Registered · Bonded · Insured · SBE Certified · MBE Certified

Our contracting arm manages construction on 3D Development projects and also takes third-party contracts. We are a registered home improvement contractor, bonded and insured in New Jersey, with SBE and MBE certification making us eligible for government set-asides and publicly-funded construction programs.

This integrated construction capability means we can keep construction margin inside the deal where we serve as general contractor, while directly controlling cost and schedule. It also means we can take third-party GC work — from other developers, municipalities, and institutions — as an independent revenue stream that funds operations between development deals.
