Why are we successful?

 For ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS, it's about the T I & OE Factor:  Throughput, Inventory and Operating Expense.  We think and live the three concerns of every entrepreneur and corporate business executive.

      ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS focuses on the long-term interests of the client, not just the transaction.  We assign only senior-level professionals to perform disposition, acquisition or financing services.  Each principal is a single-source of responsibility for the project, leveraging an impressive network of institutional investors and private capital sources - in recent years, the most aggressive buyers of investment property in the market.  Furthermore, ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS does not encumber its clients with unnecessary overhead and extraneous services.  Instead, drawing on our in-house complement of real estate professionals based in various cities in the US, Canada and Australia.   ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS builds a team on a case-by-case basis.  This way, our resources are scaled to fit your needs.  ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS combines an owner's perspective with disciplined institutional experience.  As a result, we understand the urgency of creating value and it is this philosophy, which defines the ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS   mission.

 Who We Are:

ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS corporate office is shared in Greensboro North Carolina and Chicago IL, and we have regional offices in Hilton Head South Carolina, Minneapolis Minnesota, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto Canada, London England and Sydney Australia.

The Partners in ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS are CPA’s, CFE’s, former bank CEO’s, Partners in Major consulting firms, former CFO’s of publicly traded companies, real estate investors, entrepreneurs and just good business people.

In addition ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS & VOLK INC., an experienced general & specialty construction build to suit builder and design specialist, is on our team and is available to manage and perform the work as the General Contractor or advisor to the general contractor.  We understand the business and understand what it takes to make money in this business.  We have “been there done that” in real estate and related businesses. 

When it comes to the design and construction of build-to-suit, we approach your project from the perspective of an owner rather than just that of general contractor. This is an important distinction because it means we understand the entire development process "arc" and the strategic decisions you must make every stage of the way--land acquisition, design, financing, specifications and construction. We basically become a member of your project team in order to procure for you the choice, quality, and long-term development value that we would want for ourselves.

Self-determination is a key prerogative of ownership. That's why we offer you options of both “plan and spec” construction, wherein you control individual project consultants and costs, and, a "design/build" methodology, wherein you have a single point of contact and a guaranteed price. It's why we offer you a choice of total project management services or a selection of as-needed construction services that can augment your own architectural, engineering, or internal teams. Whatever construction or rehab services you choose; your project will be delivered with the same high quality and investment value that ARV DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS demands for its own portfolio.

We won the battle and have the scares of experience to show for the effort. We have worked with highly successful real estate investors, REITS and individuals. We've worked with deeply experienced real estate entrepreneurs as well as budding entrepreneurs still trying to understand what real estate investing is all about. We work with whoever fits our profile and clicks with us.  We believe in the chemistry of creating the right teams of investors and clients in all our Build to Suit programs.  We believe that is what makes us highly successful.
