Hirschfeld Properties' primary focus has been and continues to be ground-up development. It is here that the company adds the most value to a project. Drawing upon the experience of its founder, T. Donald Hirschfeld, and the company's construction background, Hirschfeld Properties personnel undertake and complete the myriad tasks required of a commercial development company operating in today's complex development climate.

With prime development sites becoming scarcer each day, and increasing environmental, governmental, and community pressures, a firm's ability to deal with the full range of obstacles facing the developer operating in today's environment, determines its level of success. Only those developers best equipped to deal with these complex issues can operate effectively in today's development world.

Hirschfeld Properties is particularly well equipped to deal with the critical pre-development phase of a development project which determines the project's viability. By paying particular attention to the pre-development process, and interfacing effectively with the various stakeholders each having a vested interest in the project and its impact on the surrounding area, Hirschfeld ensures that proposed projects are designed and managed in order to maximize success.

At the present time, the firm's development activities are focused on three specific product types - market rate low-rise, mid-rise and hi-rise multifamily rental apartment communities.

Hirschfeld has developed over twenty anchored shopping centers and maintains expertise in all facets of retail development through the ongoing re-development of its existing retail portfolio.
