HDC Development Process

First class master planned communities do not just happen. At HD&CO, the process has been refined to a precise methodology. The methodology is consistent and the development team includes the finest professionals.

Research
In the beginning, a variety of studies and demographic data are employed to analyze future population trends and housing needs. This information is blended with the market expertise that Dickerson already possesses.

The City
Next, HD&CO contacts city staff to receive input, confirm lot sizes and share ideas for future plans.

Neighbors
Often, surrounding neighborhood groups are brought into the process early on to air any concerns and become familiar with the development plans.

Land Purchase
With the proper zoning permits, city approvals and acceptance by nearby homeowners accomplished, the land is purchased. Land owners know that Dickerson has the financial wherewithall and expertise to close the deal.

Development Team
The HD&CO staff contracts with the best engineers, architects and consultants to plan and deliver the master planned community. Restrictions and standards are established to insure the continuing integrity of the project and a quality build-out process.

Home Builders
The company delivers lots to the finest custom and production builders in the business. Most of the builders are repeat customers.

Marketing
The company actively markets the overall community and the individual home builders. Branding the new community assists the builders in selling new homes.

Homeowner’s Association
The HD&CO staff helps to establish a quality and professional homeowner’s association dedicated to the future maintenance of the property.

Investor Returns
Equity investors have received an average of 25% returns, and most continue to invest their money with HD&CO.

"We have enjoyed a ten year relationship with
John DIckerson and HDC. The Company
has never waivered from any committment to
the city staff, planning commission, city
council or the public."
