Who We Are

United Development Solutions LLC provides Hotel and Real Estate development services.

Relationships and expertise are two (2) critical factors for United.  As you read in our “Services” page, we have strategic relationships in several key categories to insure excellence in every aspect of our projects. Some of theses categories include but not limited to:

NAVIGATION OF ALL APPROVALS

TIF/TAX ABATEMENT CONSULTING 

FRANCHISE SELECTION

DETAILED FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

DETAILED DEVELOPMENT BUDGETING

FEASIBILITY/MARKET STUDIES

HOTEL MANAGEMENT … and MORE 

Our company, and our key vendors, are all known as “finishers”.  This means that once involved we won’t accept anything but the very best outcome for the very best value.

We approach our hotel development and real estate projects from an owner’s perspective ONLY. We keep projects on budget and on time.

HOTEL FINANCING

Navigating financing in today’s banking environment can be difficult. At United Development Solutions we can take the guess work out of the equation and take the lead in securing financing for our projects.

HOTEL EQUITY

Raising the necessary equity for a project will define whether or not a project can move forward. At United Development Solutions we are very familiar with the need for capital and can assist projects with raising the necessary equity.

PROJECT APPROVALS

Whether its City, County, State, or Federal, there are approvals that need to be obtained. United Development Solutions will walk your project through the approval stages and insure smooth transitions through government interaction.

CONSTRUCTION

Although we are NOT general contractors, United Development Solutions has relationships with companies who have built dozens of hotels and mixed use projects.

ARCHITECTURAL

We have relationships in place with architects who are experts in hotel, mixed use, and commercial projects.  In many instances those relationships save projects tens of thousands of dollars.

LEGAL

Our attorney relationships will insure that the project documents are correct, well reviewed, and represent the best interests of all parties involved.
