About DEVEN

DEVEN is a Real Estate Development Firm, headquartered in Orlando, FL, with an office in New York. With plans to continue expanding throughout the Southeast and broader United States, our success is dependent on our deep analytical investment approach and commitment to integrity.

Our mission is to develop, invest in, and own projects that offer superior risk-adjusted returns.

As an investor we rely on rigorous analysis, creative transactions, and the same commitment to integrity in all our dealings, and we have a long track record of success confirming that this approach works.
