Since 1996, we’ve successfully completed over 35 large-scale, residential, and mixed-use development projects in Austin, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Minneapolis, and Nashville. Our real estate developers and experts have mastered complex high-rise sites and conditions while remaining on-time and on-budget. 
Magellan brings together multiple areas of development activity under one roof, drawing on a wide array of experience within its own principals and employees. Synergy between the company’s departments, along with joint venture partners and consultants, has proven to be effective for executing large-scale projects.
Magellan leverages its proprietary development process to identify sites, secure partners, design efficient projects, manage construction risk to deliver buildings on time and on budget, and turn over completed buildings to hotel operators.
Magellan’s construction team consists of professionals with decades of hands-on experience in the field. These backgrounds are invaluable as the company manages construction activities on behalf of ownership. It also helps to make decisions in a timely manner to maintain construction schedules.
Magellan actively manages its completed projects to maximize overall investment returns. This includes overseeing property operations, strategically refinancing debt, and preparing projects for successful disposition.
Magellan Property Management (MPM) brings a deep understanding of luxury living to every residential property it develops, manages, markets, and operates. MPM continually sets new standards for urban residential living and is recognized as a market leader in residential leasing and management.
All of our developments are designed with the environment in mind.  We promote sustainability by minimizing the carbon footprint of our projects.  We have been recognized as “Best in Class” innovators in green roofs, low-E tinted glass, parks and open space.
Lakeshore East, our award-winning 28-acre master-planned community, is pre-zoned for an aggregate of approximately 10 million SF of occupied space with a variety of pre-approved uses. The site incorporates residential, commercial, hotel, retail, educational and green space.
