We believe real estate development is a powerful tool for positive change. Our commitment to sustainability and community well-being is at the heart of everything we do.

Inspired by those who have cultivated harmonious landscapes and thriving societies, we aim to create places where people and nature flourish. Our focus extends beyond constructing buildings to nurturing a sense of belonging and connection within our communities.

We are leading the charge on several initiatives that reflect our values:
• Reimagining the Travis County Landfill: We are transforming a former environmental burden into a sustainable community asset through remediation and redevelopment.

• Partnering for Affordable Housing: Our collaboration with the Austin Housing Conservancy, Housing Authority of Travis County and Housing Authority of the City of Austin is creating vibrant, inclusive neighborhoods with accessible housing options.

• Pioneering Water Management: We are at the forefront of sustainable water management with our implementation of Regenerative Stormwater Conveyance systems, protecting our precious water resources.
These projects are more than just business ventures; they are investments in our community’s future. We are committed to creating a legacy of sustainability and well-being for generations to come.
Join us in building a better tomorrow.

“Inspired by those who’ve tended to land and community with care, we aspire to nurture the soul of our city. Our focus is not merely on buildings, but on fostering a harmonious blend of people and nature.”

Graham Development has started construction on 290 units adjacent to the +700 acres of parkland along Onion Creek and McKinney Falls State Park. The first units will be delivered in the summer of 2024. The homes were designed by Land Strategies Inc. and owned in partnership with the Travis County Housing Authority to provide first class workforce housing.

Our project is now an International Interior Design Association award-winning property for the exquisite interior design work from The Heartland Interior Design.

In a submarket of Omaha, Graham Development is nearing completion on the first phase of a multifamily development totaling 300 units financed with a HUD 221.d.4 loan. This two phase multi-family development sits near a nature reserve on one side and a sports Stadium on the other. Residents enjoy walks to the +300 acre Prairie Queen Park and Lake as well as sporting events played by the new professional soccer team and the Kansas City Royals AAA team the Omaha Storm Chasers at Werner Stadium. The garden style complex features a clubhouse offering entertainment space, home office accommodations, spacious gym and resort style pool and BBQ.
