Experience List

Your commercial or retail space is more than just a building. It’s an extension of your brand and “who you are” as a business. For that reason, the completed project has to meet more than your approval: it has to meet your customers’.

At The Douglas Company, we understand how good design can add so much to the customer experience and keep people coming back. We carefully consider how the building and grounds will be used, then design and build a structure that not only meets the needs of your staff and visitors, but serves as an extension of your brand.

As with other types of construction and renovation projects, the sooner we can get involved with the building of your new hotel, the more value we can provide for you. We can assist with site planning, understanding local and state regulations, and developing relationships with city officials who can help the construction process move smoothly.

We are also keenly aware of the need to meet the hotel’s brand requirements and standards throughout every phase of construction, from the design, to the creation of parking lots and structures, to sign placement.

And, of course, we employ The Douglas Company’s 3D Process to keep the project moving on schedule so you can open for business as quickly as possible.

Experience List

The Douglas Company has built more than 9,300 units of multi-family housing. As a result, we understand the needs and concerns of residents in multi-family housing environments, from controlled access and other safety issues, to privacy and noise reduction. We’re also proponents of green building. That means we use energy-efficient materials and technologies, and avoid harmful chemicals during the construction and decorating phases. We’ll be happy to provide you with more information so you can make informed decisions.

Our long history with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) often proves very valuable when working on multi-family housing projects. Ask how we can leverage our decades of HUD experience to help your project succeed.

“The Douglas Company’s approach to dealing with complex issue’s as they occurred, is a large part of the reason for my willingness to recommend them to others for future projects.”

- Mitchell Bleznak, Chief Executive Officer, Bleznak Real Estate Investment Group

The refined systems and proprietary processes of our 3D Process allow us to meet deadlines and budgets, and prevent cost overruns. The 3D Process is the primary reason we’re able to build multi-family projects for a much lower cost per square foot than the national average. In fact, our costs typically run 40% less than our competitors, according to the RS Means Report.

Proven Experience

To say that we’re experienced in the senior healthcare and senior housing markets is an understatement! Since 2003, 62% of our projects have been affiliated with the senior markets. And our customers return to us again and again because they know we understand the unique needs of senior residents and the staffs that serve them. They also know that we make the planning and construction phases as convenient and easy as possible for them.
