How We Work

Know The Project & Share

Intimate Knowledge
  • We build in the mind long before we build on site. We think, think, & think again to refine every aspect of our projects. We evolve throughout the design & construction phase.
We Share - Information & Profits
  • In theory, construction is simple. You put one component on top of another, step by step. Reality is quite different, the process depends on thousands of components being purchased, delivered, & assembled, by a multitude of hands, without mistakes. No small task.
  • We succeed by sharing. We work closely with our investors, contractors, & sub-contractors, involving them in every phase of the process. We share information. We also share any significant savings achieved. It is all part of partnering, the Silk Development Way.

Commitment With Attitude

In For a Penny - In for a Pound
  • We are immersed in the full development process, locating sites, obtaining planning permission, financing, building, leasing, & selling. We get a kick from delivering eclectic & difficult projects while improving the urban environment.
  • Experience & current market conditions has taught us to approach turnarounds, development, gentrification, & inter-generational projects on a long-term basis.
  • More often than not, this means devoting our own time, sweat equity, & capital. We want lasting relationships with clients who look to the long-term.
  • We are not for everyone. For us, it is the bigger picture with a select few.

Team Spirit

A Small Nucleus
  • We currently employ fewer than 10 people within a flat management structure. We plan to keep it that way. We can respond rapidly to opportunities as they arise & make decisions quickly.
  • We manage our projects in-house & have hands-on experience in solving problems, finding consensus, & delivering projects.
  • We guarantee a little less talk & a lot more action.
