Own, operate and elevate places designed for better living.
DEVCO plans to build a portfolio of homes, retreats and specialty properties where families can experience how to live, work and play better.
The property becomes part of the living system.
Projects improve what a family already owns. DEVCO Properties goes further: we seek to own, control, operate or co-develop places where the environment, experience and operating model can improve together.
These places allow us to practice the work, learn from real use and create models other families can experience, adapt and carry forward.
Places that teach.
Each property becomes a living laboratory, a showcase and a platform for continuous improvement.
A portfolio built around how people should live.
Each property begins with purpose—not an asset class. We start with the people, activities and long-term impact the place should support.
Homes that model everyday living.
Healthy, capable environments that support family rhythms, focused work, recovery, hospitality and fun.
Room to reconnect.
Places shaped for rest, shared meals, meaningful conversation, celebration and time together.
Life outside the walls.
Trails, water, movement, training, recovery and outdoor experiences integrated into the property.
Properties built to carry a mission forward.
Land, working places and distinctive environments stewarded for enduring family, community and generational value.
Designed around life
Adventure at the doorstep
Built for gathering
Control the place. Improve the experience. Learn over time.
Properties give DEVCO the ability to integrate design, operations, hospitality and stewardship instead of improving each one in isolation.
Select with purpose
Choose places with the setting, potential and long-term role to support the DEVCO vision.
Establish the operating vision
Define who the property serves, how it should feel and what better living should look like there.
Improve through real use
Observe how families live, gather and move through the place—then refine what matters most.
Steward for the long horizon
Protect the land, experience, operating health and generational potential of the property.
Better properties create better conditions for life.
The goal is not to accumulate doors. It is to create places worth living in, returning to and passing forward.
People
Who should this place serve and bring together?
Place
What should the land, setting and structure make possible?
Experience
How should everyday life and time together feel here?
Stewardship
How will the property improve, operate and endure?
We are building with people who see beyond the transaction.
The Properties vision will require aligned families, patient capital, experienced operators and local partners who believe the quality of the place and the life it supports belong in the same conversation.
Every opportunity will be evaluated individually. Any future investment participation will be structured with appropriate legal, financial and professional guidance.
Potential partners may bring
Shared conviction
A belief that properties should create meaningful human and generational value.
Patient capital
Resources aligned with responsible improvement and a long-term view.
Property or operating capability
Land, assets, local knowledge, hospitality or specialized expertise.
A place worth elevating
An opportunity that could become more useful, memorable and enduring.
The Hoxby House is where the Properties vision becomes real.
The Hoxby House is Team Dodge’s current home base and DEVCO’s first Better Living Experience build—a place to test how environment, systems, family life, hospitality, recreation and ongoing improvement work together in the real world.
It is not the finished model. It is the beginning of learning what the future DEVCO portfolio should become.
Help shape the places DEVCO owns next.
If you are an aligned family, investor, operator or property owner who sees the potential, begin with a private conversation.
