Real Estate Development

At Brownstone 3 Development, we bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Our team is composed of experts in the commercial real estate development industry, committed to discovering prime high traffic locations for commercial developments, specifically around food, travel, leisure and entertainment. Building on our extensive connections in the industry, we create quality commercial spaces that stand out in their respective locations.
​It is no secret that Amazon is taking over many industries; but there are three main services Amazon can't provide: Fast Food, Hospitality, and Fuel. We specialize in providing that need for those people traveling both near and far.
