Family Values

Although a family can come in many different shapes and sizes, there is a universal meaning to the word and what it symbolizes. Whether your family is your spouse and children, your grandkids, your closest friend, or maybe your pets, family is what is most important to all of us. Family is where you go for unconditional love, for strength and for security. It’s where you share good times and get through the challenges that life can bring. You can always count on your family to be there.

That is why a home is so important. Like our family, it provides us with a comfortable, secure place where we can be ourselves, where we can dream and plan for the future while enjoying the present. The principals of Family Development take this meaning very seriously.

Having been involved in the design and development of thousands of homes over the past 20 years, every member of our team looks at each home that they build as if they were building it for their own family. Care and attention is given to each and every facet of the building cycle to ensure that the final product will bring its residents years of satisfaction.

From thoughtfully planned neighborhood designs to beautiful and functional floor plans, our homes are sure to provide families with that special place to relax and enjoy life.

We feel our commitment to family is what makes us unique and sets us apart. So, no matter how you define family, we welcome you and yours to ours.

"There are many parallels between home and family. They both require a solid foundation and are built with unconditional love, commitment and passion." - R. Herrera

MEET THE FAMILY

We welcome you to learn more about the people we like to call “Family.” We are quite blessed to have each of these talented individuals on our team. Our family culture is pretty simple – we take all tasks very seriously while trying to keep a fun work environment. Positive attitudes create a positive work place which, in turn, leads to positive results!

With such diverse backgrounds, each of the five Principals of Family Development utilizes their particular talent and specialized skills to oversee one of the critical stages of the development process with all of the partners providing their invaluable input along the way. This hands-on approach allows each partner to utilize his passion and expertise with the entire team, providing an excellent system of checks and balances at every level.

The success of any company ultimately lies with its people. In creating a company culture that includes happy, talented people driven by passion, Family Development is able to consistently produce positive results with every project.

"We are all different but bound by our common passion to deliver beautiful homes that will stand the test of time. Beyond respecting each other, we are all so grateful to have each other as partners." - R. Bishop

FAMILY MATTERS

Since its formation in 2003, Family Development has earned an excellent reputation as being the preferred residential homebuilder in California, Arizona and now, Texas. Throughout its history, the company has built thousands of homes in some of the most desirable communities while developing land for many more residences in these states.

In addition to this activity, over the years, Family Development has garnered numerous industry accolades awarded by the Sales & Marketing Council (SMC), the Building Industry Association (BIA), the Desert Contractors' Association (DCA) and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).

Charity

Outside of their development business, the principals of Family Development place a strong commitment to working with local charities to share their success with those that need it the most – families. Although market conditions have certainly experienced drastic ups and downs since its founding, Family Development’s commitment has not wavered in the best of times or the worst.

When the real estate market was at its all-time peak, Family Development built the Home With A Heart. Organizing over 200 workers from 80 different companies, Family Development built a four bedroom home from the foundation up in just 52 hours over one amazing weekend. Once it was completed, it was auctioned to the public raising over $400,000 for two local family-centered charities.

When Olive Crest began the search for a partner to help them realize their dream of building the Coachella Valley Children’s Center, they reached out to the entire building community. When the other volunteer builders backed out of the project due to adverse market conditions, Family Development agreed to take on the entire project.

In addition to these efforts, Family Development continues its active involvement in charitable work each and every year.
