A modern infill single-family home in the San Francisco Peninsula at golden hour

Almaden Development Group

Disciplined infill development across the Bay Area.

We acquire well-located lots in the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay, then design and build modern single-family homes for the market.

Our Approach

Built on four pillars.

A repeatable, end-to-end platform that combines institutional rigor with the speed of an entrepreneurial team.

01

Disciplined Acquisition

We only pursue deals clearing strict margin, return, and comparable-sale thresholds. Selectivity is a structural advantage.

02

Broker-Aligned Sourcing

Sourcing brokers earn the listing on the completed home — recurring, two-sided incentives and consistent off-market flow.

03

Integrated Platform

From feasibility through disposition, in-house capabilities compress timelines, control costs, and reduce execution risk.

04

Scalable Operations

Standardized underwriting, plan libraries, and permitting playbooks enable growth without sacrificing quality.

Submarkets

Where we build.

We focus on the most supply-constrained, high-demand submarkets on the Peninsula and in the South Bay.
