OUR SERVICES
Terra specializes in ground-up residential development ranging from single-lot spec homes to multi-home subdivisions. Terra is committed to achieving excellence in every project we undertake. Working closely with stakeholders at every level, we strive to create developments that enact positive and lasting social, economic, and physical change in the communities we work in.
The principals of Terra are developers at heart, and a key differentiator is that our team views each project through an Owners lens, thinking critically about the project in its entirety, evaluating and commenting on the design for functionality, construction efficiency, minimum durations, and cost-saving measures to maximize the potential of a project. Terra prides itself in the ability to avoid the inefficiencies, estimating inaccuracies, delays, mismanagement, and cost overruns often found in the residential construction business. When you hire Terra, you get a strategic partner who has years of successful Owner/Developer and Home Building experience unmatched in the industry.
Terra has extensive commercial construction knowledge and specializes in small to midscale capital improvement and fit-out projects throughout the NYC Metropolitan Area. We attribute our success to the strong project management and field supervision teams we employ, which allow us to plan, efficiently execute and manage the construction process to ensure your project is delivered on time and within budget.
