What We Do — RFB Development

(Re)Building Beautifully Designed, Meaningful Spaces

Our mission is to reawaken a sense of ownership in the community for built spaces by revitalizing heritage for purpose and connection. We preserve built heritage to see a lasting connection, rootedness and investment in communities.

Here’s What We Do

We add to value to every project through a unique combination of restoration and infill development. This tandem approach allows us to maximize the amount of housing and spaces we can create for the community.

Bringing communities together around a shared vision, we engage with the neighborhoods our developments are situated in before, during and after construction to understand and fulfill their wants and needs.
We design each space through the lenses of art and architecture, seeing the old and even outdated interior and exterior for its potential, not its weakness. We always respect the cultural significance of heritage and the needs of the community when designing.
We envision a new purpose for under-utilized spaces – then we get the job done. We’re a full service redeveloper, providing everything from property assessments to construction, focusing on sustainability throughout the process.
Investment is so much more than money. It’s about bringing people together who want to invest in projects that are going to change lives. We connect collaborators to the history and vision for our spaces, looking to build meaningful relationships with them.
