QuakerLane selectively provides a suite of services to its own investors, partners and third party clients, and brings sophisticated senior professionals with extensive advisory track records.

Development & Project Management
QuakerLane has extensive expertise across all phases of development. We aid property owners in identifying the highest and best use for their site, be it ground-up development or adaptive-reuse/renovation. QuakerLane is particularly effective in situations with complex community dynamics and entitlement processes. After receiving entitlements, QuakerLane can manage the design process from consultant selection through review and feedback on construction drawings. As construction work gets started, we are equipped to manage vendor contracts, billing, and construction administration, and owners benefit from our rigorous quality controls. Throughout the entire process, we track deadlines and budget against actuals so that clients have full transparency into the project’s performance.
