About DEVEN

DEVEN is a Real Estate Development Firm, headquartered in Orlando, FL, with an office in New York. With plans to continue expanding throughout the Southeast and broader United States, our success is dependent on our deep analytical investment approach and commitment to integrity.

Our mission is to develop, invest in, and own projects that offer superior risk-adjusted returns. We believe that a company of means with an intimate understanding of real estate can transform difficult projects into successful ventures for owners and investors, and for governmental partners as well. Our success as a developer in the private and public sectors stems from actively managing that process from start to finish, innovative structuring, and an unwavering commitment to our clients and investors. As an investor we rely on rigorous analysis, creative transactions, and the same commitment to integrity in all our dealings, and we have a long track record of success confirming that this approach works.
