Pioneer Development Company charts the course to project feasibility for communities and developers across the nation.

WE FIND THE WAY

Our Approach

  • Land Use Development

    All real estate projects, economic strategies, and community planning initiatives begin with land development. It is the fundamental piece to realizing a development vision. PDC specializes in combining regional planning, economics and real estate finance into a proven method for optimizing land development. From programming master planned communities, to financing public infrastructure, to strategically regulating and incentivizing areas of your community. PDC can help make your land development project feasible.

  • Economic Development

    At PDC, we believe that economic development is synonymous with strategic thinking. Whether your community desires to attract new investments and businesses or determine how to best leverage incentives that yield positive community impacts, PDC can assist you in strategic decision making. We specialize in funding gap analysis, bonding capacity projections, tax increment financing forecasts, fiscal impact analysis, housing studies, yield studies, and feasibility studies. No matter the economic development puzzle facing your community or development, PDC can help you solve it.

  • Community Development

    Community development is the guiding principle behind our company. It is the perspective by which we approach economic questions, real estate issues, and land development challenges. It is core to finding feasible solutions to development problems. We believe that true community development, the kind that yields real, tangible change for the public, is found when market demands align with community needs. Threading this needle involves closely listening to communities, understanding their unique and complex challenges, and planning strategies that yield feasible outcomes. PDC uses this approach to help provide clarity to our municipal clients facing housing affordability issues, long range planning questions, brownfield redevelopment challenges, and public participation problems.

  • Real Estate Development

    Real Estate Development is essentially the act of changing the built environment. Changing our built environment is one of the best ways to positively influence our communities, and it is why community-minded development should guide the real estate development process. PDC believes that a profitable development not only shows a healthy bottom line, but also provides community benefits that are felt long after the discounted cash flow projections end. Our methodology can help realize these often-disparate goals, resulting in higher and better uses that generate better returns for both the developers and the communities.
