Bronson & Jacobs — Development Partners

Let's Build the Right Deal.

We're building a network of Nashville builders, landowners, and capital partners to identify and structure residential new-construction opportunities.

What We Do

Turning Properties Into Development Opportunities.

Some properties are worth more as development opportunities than as simple land sales. Bronson & Jacobs works to identify those opportunities and bring the right people together to make them possible.

Land

Identify vacant lots, underutilized properties, and residential development opportunities.

Builders

Connect qualified projects with builders who understand the local market, construction costs, and timelines.

Capital

Work with private lending relationships and other capital sources to evaluate financing options for qualifying projects.

Partnerships

Explore seller financing, land contributions, builder partnerships, and project-specific joint ventures when the economics make sense.

For Landowners

Own Land in Nashville?

Your property may be worth more as part of a development than through a traditional sale. We're looking for vacant lots and properties with residential development potential in the Nashville area. Depending on the property and project economics, we may explore traditional acquisition, seller financing, land contributions, or development partnerships.

Not every property will fit. We focus on opportunities where the land, construction costs, financing, and potential resale value create a workable project.

Traditional Sale vs. Development Partnership

Traditional Sale

Sell the property
Receive agreed purchase price
Transaction ends

Development Partnership

Contribute/sell land
Project is structured
Builder constructs
Property is sold
Partner receives agreed compensation/equity according to the project agreement
A development partnership is not appropriate for every property or owner. We evaluate each opportunity individually.
For Builders

Builders: Bring Us Your Build Box.

Tell us what you want to build, where you want to build it, and what numbers make sense. We're building relationships with Nashville-area builders before chasing opportunities. If you know the neighborhoods, lot sizes, home styles, construction budgets, and price points that work for you, we want to know.

Development Partnerships

Potential Joint Ventures. Project by Project.

A joint venture means two or more parties work together on a specific project and agree in advance how responsibilities, costs, risks, and potential profits will be handled.

Every project is individually negotiated and subject to due diligence, legal documentation, lender approval, and project economics. Project economics and partner compensation are negotiated based on each party's contribution, responsibilities, risk, and the specific deal.

How A Project Can Come Together

Five Steps, Project by Project.

01

Find the Opportunity

We identify vacant lots, land, or properties with potential for residential development.

02

Analyze the Numbers

We evaluate zoning, buildability, construction costs, comparable sales, financing, holding costs, and potential exit value.

03

Assemble the Team

Bring together the landowner, builder, financing source, and other professionals needed for the project.

04

Structure the Deal

Depending on the project, the structure may involve acquisition, seller financing, land contribution, fixed-price construction, or a project-specific JV.

05

Build & Exit

Subject to approvals and final agreements, the project moves through construction toward its intended sale or other exit strategy.
