THE PHILOSOPHY
JDL Group promotes NeoRetroism – the philosophy which advocates a recreation of
old-world evolutionary characteristics in modern-day, development
environments. It is the future of real estate development.
THE VILLAGE
Adriatica Village, located in the beautiful suburbs of McKinney, Texas, is the
first attempt at using NeoRetroism as a core element of the design process. It is a
$250M project on a 48.6-acre site, with retail, residential and recreational components.
THE PROCESS
JDL Group promotes ReModuletics – the process of using re-purposed materials
that would otherwise be discarded, for the production of modular building units. These
units can then be deployed to development sites to construct vertically built structures.
THE URBAN VILLAGE
The Cotton Groves is an urban village and a high density housing site.
It uses planned development zoning, has good transit access, great amenities,
affords pedestrian walkability, along with ample greenspace.
THE SUPPORT
JDL Group has a compliment of companies that support its efforts.
Our support companies work in a circular manner to assistance in various projects.
The complimentary nature of these support companies is part of our winning strategy.
