Pillars Development Group’s earliest affiliate companies were formed in 1992 to acquire and develop land and construct residential for sale housing in the Washington, DC region with the mission of controlled and profitable growth. The Washington metropolitan region has proven to be a solid real estate market due to its consistently strong economic expansion and robust job-growth, generally out-pacing the rest of the nation and many of its larger regional counterparts. The successes that were born from the early residential developments allowed the Founders to expand and diversify into higher-density, high-rise residential and commercial projects by 1999.
The growth of Pillars Development Group has been built upon the belief that well located properties, combined with innovative design and quality construction that affords end-users the opportunity to add custom touches, while diligently controlling costs, will attract a strong following in the marketplace. Furthermore, a commitment by the Founders to embrace prudent and conservative financial management has helped to generate attractive returns with nominal risk for the owners, investors and employees.
The primary mission of Pillars Development Group is to develop luxury properties while creating a discernable better value for its customers. The mission is achieved by careful site selection, insisting on architecturally unique designs and the application of the highest standards of finish and specifications. A mainstay and continuing principle is to advance its distinction by carefully searching for and selecting only the most prominent and desirable properties in the “inner-ring” of Washington, DC.
By integrating its focus to the development of the “whole,” Pillars delivers a blend of residential condominium offerings combined with retail / restaurant and other commercial uses that provide added value to all its customers. This is Pillars’ “entire community focus” and it is applied to every aspect of the business including land acquisition, land planning, architectural design, site integration, marketing and construction. Through this cohesive “entire community focus” the company has demonstrated its consistent ability to create value for its customers and also for its investors.
The Founders of Pillars Development Group have demonstrated a reputation for quality, innovation, and fair dealing that is recognized industry-wide and most recently demonstrated with a “sweep” for the innovative “Avonlea” community at the 2007 Monument Awards where Avonlea took first place in 9 separate categories. Furthermore, the Group has earned many prestigious “Finest for Family Living” architectural awards and MAME marketing awards including The Cotswold in 1994, The Farnham in 1995, The Huntington in 1997, The Kensington in 1998, The Briarcliff in 1999 and 2000, The Andover in 2000, and The Mozart in 2004. Grenata was recognized as the “Community of the Year” in 2005.
