What We Do

Business Platforms

  • Whether as a partner, sponsor, or advisor, SDG brings a sophisticated owner’s perspective and transforms visionary ideas into tangible results, ensuring projects are buildable, transactable, investable, and financeable.

    We thrive on tackling complex real estate challenges and transforming them into successful, value-driven outcomes. Every project has its unique "DNA" of variables, risks, and opportunities – we work with best in class partners to unlock that potential.

  • Development & Investment

    SDG executes residential, commercial and mixed-use development projects through full life cycles: acquisition, entitlement, pre-development, construction, asset management and sales. We generate value by skillfully navigating complexity, creative problem solving consistent with an overall vision and diligently delivering projects on schedule and on budget.  Our experience encompasses ground-up, adaptive reuse and district scale development.

  • Advisory & Development Services

    SDG works with institutional and public partners and clients to provide high-value advisory services at all stages of real estate projects. These services include: strategic entitlement support, negotiating complex transactions, asset repositioning, vertical development management and advancing district scale master plans.  We bring our experience as owners and investors to each advisory project, helping clients make decisions and manage project risks, from idea to execution.
