About Us
Land Development and Vision
Through strategic partnerships spanning over two decades, David Matten and his affiliated companies have leveraged investments in a wide array of geographies and market segments. A privately owned land acquisition and development firm, Matten Industries has invested in developments throughout NY, FL and GA. The firm currently holds and manages multiple acres of prime development property with plans for residences and new communities. Matten invests in key market locations and focuses on providing builders with a steady supply of finished lots at competitive prices. The firm targets acquisition of raw land with entitlements in place or nearly in place which Matten Industries develops in-house, and either sells to homebuilders and other developers or develops for resale internally. The firm recently expanded business relationships with major private homebuilders in the southeast U.S. and is actively purchasing lots in prestigious communities for private development. Leveraging its core strengths of transactional flexibility, operating expertise and financial capital, Matten aims to establish itself as one of the industry’s premier developers of residential and mixed-use communities.
