Ecological Development

Ecological Development LLC (“Ecological”) is an
environmental land development, master planning, and green retrofitting
company. Our mission is to create a higher standard for
communities and the built environment where development, nature, and
community are integrated to enhance each other.

Ecological uses a regenerative design approach that goes beyond
sustainability. We strive to add a net benefit to all environmental,
social, and economic systems encompassing every project.

With
our new developments, we work with municipalities to green not just the
project site but also far-reaching social and economic aspects of the
town itself. We also apply the same regenerative methodology to
retrofitting buildings and all other green services we provide.
Ecological has unique, industry-leading technology and partnerships
that allow us to assess and implement regenerative solutions for all
systems across portfolios of buildings.  We focus primarily on
improving energy usage, carbon footprint, and water systems. Our
retrofitting services will rapidly reduce costs, improve efficiency,
and increase value of real estate assets.

At Ecological, our goal is to completely change the way people view and approach development by making regenerative development
the standard for both solving our environmental needs and strengthening
communities socially and economically. Development, when done
correctly, can be a positive force in the community.

  • As
    horizontal developers and master planners, we acquire municipal and
    privately owned land in order to design and implement a master plan for
    each site.
  • Ecological
    evaluates each specific project in the context of all the systems that
    it affects.  Projects may range from a new town center, a beautiful
    hamlet, a hotel, a collection of farms, a corporate headquarters, etc.
  • Using
    our regenerative approach, we create solutions that not only improve
    the environment but also have a large social and economic impact on the
    surrounding community of each project. Whether it is working with a
    town to rezone land, implementing a waste-water treatment system,
    making agricultural improvements, etc., we ensure that our development
    solutions add a net benefit to all environmental, social, and economic
    systms surrounding a project.
  • The
    underlying goals of every Ecological development project are to leave
    the site healthier and more productive than before we developed it and
    to create something truly luxurious in its enjoyment of nature.
  • Our development solutions are unique to each specific project and are
    achieved through low-cost, low-maintenance, regenerative technology. 

    Our Regenerative Solutions include:

    • Land Development
    • Integrated Energy Design and Alternative Energy Solutions
    • Economic Development
    • Healthy Buildings
    • Renewable and Locally Sourced Materials
    • Hydroponics, Green Roofs
    • Agricultural Improvements
    • Conservation Opportunities
    • Regenerative Water Systems
    • Wastewater/Stormwater/Effluent Treatment

We
believe that we all have an ongoing responsibility to be stewards of
our natural environment. We work in the realm beyond "sustainable"
design to restore natural resources and systems to their most healthy
and productive states.

Ecological
does not seek a project to just simply build a product. We work with
all community stakeholders through a collaborative, whole-systems process
to determine the best possible development solutions for each specific
community—for its economy, its citizens, and its environment.  Only
then do we implement it.
