HOW WE DO IT

Seed Development Group is a fully vertically integrated company with extensive experience across every stage of real estate development with over 35 years of combined experience. Our process begins with scouting and acquisition, where we identify prime opportunities for investment. From there, we guide each project through masterplanning, architecture, and engineering to ensure the design aligns with both the vision and the environment. We handle all permitting requirements, then proceed to horizontal and vertical construction, ensuring high-quality infrastructure and building standards. Our services extend to furnishing and finishing the property, followed by overseeing its operations, creating a seamless, end-to-end development process.

Scouting and Acquisition:
This is where we identify and secure prime land or property for development. Our team carefully evaluates potential sites, considering factors such as location, market potential, environmental impact, accessibility, and growth prospects. Once a suitable site is found, we negotiate the purchase or lease, ensuring favorable terms for our clients or investors.

Masterplanning:
In this stage, we create a comprehensive master plan that defines the long-term vision for the project. This plan outlines the layout of land use, including residential, commercial, and green spaces. It takes into account infrastructure, environmental considerations, traffic flow, and amenities, ensuring the project is both sustainable and functional over time.

Architecture:
Our in-house architects design buildings and structures that align with the project’s vision, incorporating aesthetics, function, and sustainability. We balance innovative design with local culture and landscape, ensuring that every project harmonizes with its environment while meeting client expectations.

Engineering:
The engineering phase ensures that all technical aspects of the project—from structural integrity to utility systems—are safe, efficient, and effective. Civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers work together to make sure the project is built to the highest standards, with a focus on long-term sustainability and cost-efficiency.

Permitting:
We handle all the legal and regulatory requirements to get the project approved. This involves working with local municipalities and government agencies to obtain the necessary permits, environmental approvals, and licenses. Our deep knowledge of Costa Rican regulations and relationships with key authorities streamline this process.

Horizontal Construction:
Horizontal construction refers to the infrastructure and foundational work needed before building structures, including land grading, roads, utilities, drainage systems, and other site infrastructure. This stage ensures the land is ready for vertical construction and meets all regulatory requirements.

Vertical Construction:
This is the phase where the actual buildings are constructed. It involves everything from the laying of the foundation to the completion of the structure, including framing, roofing, electrical and plumbing systems, and finishing work. We maintain strict quality control to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. Seed has a fully equipped team to manage and complete the construction of any project.

Furnishing and Finishing:
Once construction is complete, we manage the interior finishing and furnishing. This includes installing flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and fixtures, as well as choosing and placing furniture that complements the design. The aim is to create a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Operations:
After construction is finished, we assist with the transition to operational management. This includes setting up property management, staffing, and ensuring the facilities run smoothly. For hospitality projects, this involves coordinating with service providers, creating sales strategies, and ensuring guest satisfaction from day one. Our hospitality division can take full control of projects. With over 250 employees on the hospitality side and growing we can bring any project to life.

By managing every stage of the development process, Seed Development Group delivers high-quality, sustainable, and well-executed projects from inception to completion.
