[H2] What We Do

Alterra's development team brings a wealth of extensive industry expertise. We select transit-oriented sites that deliver the greatest value, and work with best-in-class architects and designers to create communities that will not only provide homes, but redefine the urban lifestyle. Together, our team has been involved in more than $30 million square feet of development and executed more than $5 billion in real estate transactions.

Alterra works with industry-leading sales and marketing teams to deliver value and create long-term relationships, built on a foundation of trust. Our sales and marketing professionals provide key input during the initial stages of development, planning, and design, helping to ensure that our communities respond to the needs of today’s modern buyers, maintain long-term value, and remain relevant as the market evolves. This is an essential step in the development process, translating customer needs into an initial vision for a community, and ensuring that vision is delivered when a building comes to life.

Our construction team is one of the most experienced and well-respected in the industry with over 50 years of expertise in budget management, cost control, safety, communication, and best-build practices. Using the most exacting standards, we masterfully construct buildings that define the district and ensure that every Alterra project stands as an icon of quality and pride. Our construction team manages all construction activity from pre-development to move-in, with a designated executive overseeing each project, and a full-time on-site representative guaranteeing quality assurance and control. Our stringent oversight results in communities built to the highest standards, delivered on budget and on time.
