How We Work

We love a challenge.

VM Development Group is a regional leader in the redevelopment of high-profile urban and historic buildings for commercial and residential use. Based in Easton, Pennsylvania and extending into western New Jersey, we conceptualize and create financially and structurally solid, sustainably minded, and visually striking buildings.

“White elephants” are our specialty.

There’s nothing like taking structures that are considered difficult to renovate or restoration projects abandoned before completion—aka white elephants—and transforming them into catalysts for revitalization, renewal and community growth.

Built on a foundation of intelligent design and construction.

Owners Mark Mulligan, Gretchen Rice and William Vogt have detailed knowledge and decades of experience in construction management and sustainable revitalization, and a solid track record of smartly redeveloping historic buildings in centers of urban culture.

We understand how to reclaim, shape and polish existing bones and shells. But we’re never so focused on the past that we forget about building a profitable future.

We’re a different kind of developer.

Our partnership-minded approach and long-term ties to the development projects are rare in the industry. Whether it’s a public-private partnerships or solely private investments, we don’t renovate a building and flip it. It’s our name on a project from identifying, creating and building through leasing, managing and maintenance. We take pride in our successful leveraging of federal historic tax credits, grants and tax abatement programs for our projects.

Our ultimate goal: To build value by creating attractive buildings and spaces that are irresistible to quality tenants and help create vibrant communities.
