The Team at True Life Development is well-versed in all phases of real estate development. We focus our efforts on single-family communities, intent on creating good neighborhood design that responds to the local demand and market needs. Team members seek credible opportunities to enhance value and provide productive solutions to our development partners, including land sellers, government organizations, public or private builders, and the greater community at large. From land acquisition through engineering, land development, and vertical construction, we respect our mission as stewards of the American dream.

Our land acquisition group seeks out strategic opportunities that allow us to extend a wide range of value choices to the public or private builder looking for finished lots, as well as to the homebuyer in search of a new home to call their own.

We are serious about our undertaking and have closed on over 5 land deals in the past six months in both Northern and Southern California, including communities designed for first-time buyers and those created for the luxury market. Since inception, our company has underwritten $5 billion in land transactions in California and Arizona. We are continuing the search for the right properties in California, Arizona and Colorado.

Whether you are buying or selling land, True Life Communities can be a tremendous ally and partner. We are skilled in due diligence, deal structuring and negotiation. To learn more about our 2011 goals and acquistions, contact Taber Anderson at tanderson@truelifecommunities.com.
