D3. Downtown Development & Design

Downtown Development & Design (“D3”) is an entity that seeks to maximize investment returns by taking a boutique approach to property development and interior design. We were formed out of a frustration deriving from the commoditization and emptiness that pervades real estate in Manhattan and other major property markets. The byproduct of an assembly line mindset and intense speculation, such real estate product has been bereft of life and personality. Resultantly, D3 seeks to inject the level of character, detail-orientation, and personification that we feel has been missing from the property landscape. D3 seeks aggressive returns for its investors through repositioning, acquisitions, and ground-up development in both Manhattan and oft-overlooked locations such as the Croatian Riviera. Though opportunistic in its outlook, D3 is cautious to ensure that its deals stay within a reasonable size so that it does not lose its boutique mentality. As a result of its astute attention to market fundamentals and forward-leaning thinking, D3 is confident that such aspirational returns can be reached in any type of economic environment. D3’s competitive advantage stems from its diverse array of talent. Its professionals stem from such disciplines as interior design, architecture, appraisal, law, and economics. In addition to the diversity in discipline, D3’s professionals are diverse in geographic background. Its professionals come to it from such locales as Croatia, Spain, Italy, and Nigeria. Such a vast geographic scope allows the entity to maintain diversity in creativity and strategy. Further, such diversity serves as the backbone of the company’s strategy to affect property in locales far and wide. D3 is a socially responsible entity that builds responsibly.
