Safe Harbor Residential

SH Residential works with national and local builders offering master plan development, site development, and master-amenity construction services to provide slab-ready lots in pre-planned communities for builders to purchase for their homebuyers. SH Residential has expanded into additional real estate markets, developing communities for its clients throughout the Southeast. SH Residential's goal is to deliver something exceptional with every project that the developer, builder, surrounding community, and end buyer can all be proud of.

Intuitive Land Sourcing

SH Residential has an intuitive ability to source desirable land parcels to attract the buyer profile their residential homebuilders have identified as their target market.  As land developers, SH Residential is frequently approached by individual property owners, family estates, and private landowner groups about developing their holdings. Selling property that might have been in the family for generations or a long-held asset can be an emotional experience for sellers. SH Residential has an excellent track record for transforming raw land into projects that are a source of financial growth and personal pride for sellers.

As thoughtful stewards of the land, SHR balances profit potential with preservation of the natural surroundings and the character of the land that will make buyers want to buy and put down their roots there.

The multi-disciplinary team at SH Residential has the experience and expertise to envision and develop communities that elevate land to its highest use. Each property is evaluated with their client to determine the most effective use, from exclusively single-family residential developments to planned communities with a mix of single-family and multi-family units to accommodate a diversity of lifestyles.

We do not take lightly the trust that is placed in our company when we are offered the opportunity to transform pristine undeveloped property. When the time came to develop a farm that my father owned, I was given the opportunity to facilitate a development project that was very personal to me. I proposed a plan to develop the family farm that would benefit all family members and make my father proud in his later years. It is this intention that we apply to all of our projects.
