As we reflect on SDRE’s roots, we see a journey of discovery and dedication. Our mission to create vibrant and innovative housing in San Diego has driven us from a small team in 2021 to current leaders in homebuilding. As we continue to address the housing shortage through our ever-improving processes, we remain committed to building in places our community can call home. Through these efforts, we couldn’t be more excited for the future.

Today
Now, our organizations have grown collectively to 50+ employees. We are continuing to expand our departments and invest in new technologies to better the housing market.
Established in 2021, our journey began with a small team committed to making an impact.
We started with a shared vision to make a meaningful impact on San Diego's real estate market, though our path was not yet clear.
We experienced explosive growth as our team found a niche where we could make a difference.
Through dedication and innovation, we found our footing and quickly became a key player in addressing the local housing shortage.
We’ve since hit our stride and perfected our process, integrating all aspects of homebuilding.
Today, we are leaders in real estate development, consistently delivering high-quality housing solutions that enhance our community.
