Welcome

Thank you for visiting Delaware Valley Development Company (DVDC).

Since its founding in 1999 Delaware Valley Development Company has operated with the purpose of creating and managing communities of the highest quality. We are committed to providing our residents with beautiful, professionally managed housing that employs best practices in design, construction, and maintenance. DVDC has an unwavering commitment to creating communities that contribute to the natural and built environments in positive ways.

DVDC

WHO WE ARE

Delaware Valley Development Company (DVDC) is a full service real estate development, building, and investment company, specializing in affordable housing and land development in the Mid-Atlantic region. Based in Hockessin, Delaware, DVDC’s mission is to successfully create and manage communities of the highest quality utilizing three core values:

EXCELLENCE

We demand excellence in all aspects of our business. This includes basic components of the development business such as design, construction and management, but also on a more fundamental level in the approach we take to conduct our daily affairs.

INTEGRITY

Our promise is to accept nothing less than absolute integrity. We hold ourselves accountable by committing to do as we say with every action we take.

RESPONSIBILITY

We believe strongly that we, as real estate developers, are shapers of the places in which we live, work and play. That said, we aim to build sustainable communities that improve and enhance the built and natural environments.

Philosophy

Our development approach is one that embraces sustainable development practices and responsible stewardship of buildings and land. At DVDC, sustainable development comes in many forms:


  • URBAN INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT, like our developments in West Center City, Wilmington, Delaware.

  • ADAPTIVE REUSE, like at Hopewell Manor, which involved the purchase of an old fire station and conversion into housing for seniors.

  • OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION, such as at Highland Park, in Dillsburg, PA, where 10 of the 19 acres are permanently preserved through a conservation easement.

  • BROWNFIELDS, like at the former NVF Plant in Kennett Square Borough, PA, where a 25 acre derelict and contaminated industrial property is being rezoned and recycled into a vibrant mixed use neighborhood.

Developments

PENNSYLVANIA • DELAWARE • MARYLAND

DVDC’s principals have directed the development of multi- and single-family communities containing over 5,000 residential units in over 75 developments in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. DVDC currently owns and manages more than 2,000 multi-family units in 31 apartment communities. In addition, more than 150 units in approximately 3 projects are currently in various stages of the development process.
