DEVELOPMENT

Bringing big ideas to life, one detail at a time.

Multidisciplinary Process

A Multidisciplinary Process

Claremont has a dedicated team of development professionals who drive new opportunities and oversee the daily processes involved in this dynamic field. Working closely with a diverse network of partners, we bring projects to life, ensuring every detail is meticulously considered to achieve the best possible outcomes for residents and guests. These partners – including architects, engineers, interior designers, general contractors, and many others – play vital roles in the success of each development.

Entitlements

The Entitlement Process

Claremont manages all entitlement efforts for new developments in-house. With decades of experience, the team collaborates closely with municipalities to deliver projects that meet the needs of all stakeholders. Whether navigating zoning variances, special permits, or approved-use projects, Claremont remains committed to enhancing communities and delivering unparalleled results. Team members actively participate in town meetings, presenting project-specific proposals and integrating feedback from abutters and local officials to refine and improve each development.

Construction

The Construction Process

Claremont's in-house development team manages all pre-development and entitlement efforts while also overseeing daily construction operations from groundbreaking to project completion. With a meticulous approach, the team works closely with third-party general contractors and subcontractors, remaining actively involved in major decision-making to keep projects within budget and on schedule. This ensures that all stakeholders stay aligned and committed to a shared goal – delivering the best possible outcome, tailored to the needs of the target demographic.

Claremont’s approach to expansion is rooted in thoughtful planning, collaboration, and precision. By balancing innovation with practicality, the team transforms ideas into tangible assets that serve our residents, guests and communities. A deep understanding of market dynamics, regulatory landscapes, and design principles ensures that each project is positioned for long-term success. This commitment to strategic execution drives impactful, enduring results.
