As a licensed general contractor, Coalfield Development can advance bold, creative projects in deep collaboration with the communities we serve. Our projects are designed and ultimately owned by the community. We keep a project pipeline full and advance projects through this pipeline beginning with predevelopment and financing, entering into construction, and then into operation as community assets. Our projects are mixed-use, mixed-income, meaning they blend residential and commercial purposes for a variety of different income demographics, thus also contributing to economic diversification and opportunity cultivation. Our construction crew is also a social enterprise, having 33-6-3 crew members as carpenters. Rejuvenating empty buildings or former mine-lands can be a major strategy for breathing new life into our communities, preserving cultural treasurers, attracting fresh investment, providing opportunities for entrepreneurship and creating quality, affordable housing.
We work with community groups, leaders, and partner organizations to develop mixed-use residential and commercial real estate projects with a social impact. Coalfield Development owns three rural multi-family housing properties and has an in-house construction crew. We believe that safe, decent, and affordable housing is one of the very first steps to a quality life. If one does not have a proper home to return to at the end of the day, their role as an employee, student, or person in general is inhibited from being performed to its highest potential.
Coalfield Development staff are always scanning for more opportunities for mixed-use, mixed-income revitalization projects. Rejuvenating downtowns can be a major strategy for breathing new life into our communities, preserving cultural treasurers, attracting fresh investment, providing opportunities for entrepreneurship and creating quality, affordable housing. Coalfield Development is the current owner of three rural multi-family rental facilities. Coalfield Development also operates as developer for revitalization projects that assist in empowering low wealth people and communities. Currently, Coalfield Development is developing sites that will provide community empowerment space, commerce hubs, rental units and Airbnb rentals.
Moreover, Coalfield Development completes developments primarily through partnerships with other organizations. We feel that relationships and partnerships are a key part of life and therefore heavily incorporate it into our development process. With partnerships come diversified points of view, years and types of experience, and a stronger likelihood that a project will succeed. It is collaboration at its best, and we take pride in the many partnerships we have formed over the years.
