Our services vary to meet the needs of our clients’ needs, but also the project.  These services include land acquisition, land entitlement (including MUD creation and/or annexation, city permitting and planning coordination), land management and master planning, project management and fee development. Rooted Development is poised to assist landowners, investors, and builders in identifying and acquiring land, feasibility analysis and best use, due diligence management, project coordination and development of infrastructure and finished lots, budget and schedule management and MUD reimbursement coordination.

We have curated a uniquely qualified team of talented individuals who have expert knowledge and a great vision for innovative projects of all sizes and complexity. What really makes us stand out though, is our passion and integrity that makes collaboration fun and easy.
