Developing real estate is a complicated process involving large sums of money, the work of many professionals, and years of effort. Even those who have developed real estate in the past can be intimidated by the process. Kastes Planning & Development offers clients the experience of having been through the development process many times and for many different types of projects. Kastes and the client work together as the project's developer. While the client provides overall direction and is responsible for decision making, Kastes does all the work necessary to make the project a reality.
For most projects Kastes guides clients and projects through a five step development process.
