Proven Property Development Process

Comprehensive Development

Tuscan Developments executes all aspects of the development process from ‘land acquisition and subdivision’ through ‘design and construction’. When Tuscan Developments views a property, whether urban in-fill developments or raw land, they see the ‘finished homes’ and ‘private gardens’. This proven property development process has consistently provided high returns on capital.

Smart Growth, In-fill Residential Development

With population, traffic and commuting time costs on the rise, there is an exponential growth in demand for family homes in areas close to the core business district. The result is a never ending escalation in the value of residential properties that enjoy a short commute.

  •  Tuscan Developments purchases old rundown properties in mature areas, increasing value through construction of Tuscan Homes with outdoor living space.

Master-planned Community Development

Without an adequate housing supply, the economic vitality of any region is discounted. Infrastructure and residential communities have to be developed to support the population and economic growth.

  •  Tuscan Developments’ subdivision and construction of spacious family homes with outdoor living areas, is designed to meet the growing demand for mid-market family homes.

Property Acquisition Strategy

Tuscan Developments is constantly on the lookout for underutilized properties that can cost-effectively be developed into Tuscan Homes. Before acquiring a subject property, Tuscan Developments meets with the local municipal Planning & Development Department to review their community plan and zoning requirements. A local area character study and arborist’s tree survey may assist in this analysis. They then meet with the municipal Engineering Department to discuss road layouts, property access points, drainage, water and service connections.

Development & Construction

After land acquisition, depending upon the nature of the development, Tuscan Developments will apply for the appropriate zoning and planning approvals. The construction of a subdivision’s roads and services connections (water, sewer, drainage) are subcontracted to engineering specialists. The careful layout of each property and the unique design of each Tuscan Home is what gives a development character. Tuscan Developments designs and general manages all Tuscan Home construction.

Development Examples

	In-fill Developments   - Smart Growth A mature residential property, purchased for demolition and transformation into a Tuscan Home with a private garden.
New Construction on Narrow Property We took a narrow sloping lot and transformed it into a private garden with panoramic views from a unique and stately Tuscan Home. Elegant balance is evident in the superiority of the Tuscan Design’s majestic simplicity.
	Renovation of Farm House We took an old farmhouse built in 1945 and introduced space and sunlight. Without changing the original exterior structure or foundation, we centered the flow around the kitchen … we gave it Heart and Tuscan Charm with French doors leading to the garden and orchards. We gave the basement its own fireplace and introduced sunlight through above ground windows.
Subdivision - Half Acre Lots Our original intent was to subdivide the property to three lots but in Tuscan Style, we could not resist the beauty of a full half acre of space in which to design and build a Tuscan Home. We subdivided into two lots, built an access lane as per the local community plan and set our design/building budgets on par with the current market. Existing home was renovated, creating open space and sunlight without changing original structure. Garage and workshop repositioned to accommodate city lane. We will position the home to ensure privacy and southern exposure. An “L” shape design will provide privacy and facilitate the Tuscan Kitchen and Living Area layout.
