Will Lansing, Principal
Will Lansing embarked on his real estate journey immediately after college. In 2003, he co-founded a company focused on the development of single family homes, which he grew into a significant business. Five years later, after selling his partnership interest, Will ventured into larger-scale projects, including condo conversions and ground-up construction of for-sale and rental housing. This period laid the groundwork for the eventual formation of Valor Development.

Since's Valor's inception in 2009, Will has grown the platform to include additional real estate asset classes including commercial, industrial, and hospitality, while continuing its focus on it's residential footprint. This expansion provided for the growth of the business into The Valor Companies, a family of verticals focused on thoughtful real estate development, investment, construction, and management. Will holds a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech.
Services
-
Planning
Successful development relies on the proper foundation and planning for a project taking into account a multitude of factors relating to zoning and land use requirements, local government and neighborhood politics, market and product demand, financing considerations, and others. We manage all of these factors to ensure an initial project plan for the best chance of successful execution.
-
Design
Beauty goes far beyond the eye of the beholder. Beauty is found in the way a project accommodates it's user(s), enhances a cityscape, a neighborhood, or a skyline, and how it provides activation to the fabric of the neighborhood where it is being developed. We help ensure the project's vision is successfully achieved through it's design.
-
Zoning and Entitlement
These days it is rare to find a project that can be completed as a matter of right. Tremendous value is created in the entitlement process. We guide projects through the complex web of local neighborhood groups, conservancies, Historic Preservation and Review Boards, and Zoning Boards to ensure projects achieve approvals for rezoning, change of use, and other complicated cases.
-
Development Management
From start to finish our team guides projects through the complete lifecycle of development. We babysit all the details from planning to construction completion to ensure successful delivery of a project.
-
Underwriting and Analysis
Upon first look at an opportunity, and all through it's lifecycle, real estate sponsorship needs to understand "the numbers". We continually evaluate a project's forecasted and realized performance relative to costs, revenue, and financial market conditions and provide guidance on the timing and the ways to capitalize, hold, or sell a project most efficiently.
