For landowners
Your land can outlast you well.
If you own land that could support a complete neighborhood, you face a value-capture decision. The conventional path is a one-time sale: the land becomes a transaction, the relationship ends, and the developer captures the long-term value. There is another path.
What we offer
Participation, not just purchase.
Eudora structures participation in the long-term value the neighborhood creates, while half or more of your land is permanently conserved. The place takes its name from the land and its history, never from us. What was a field with a for-sale sign becomes a neighborhood the region is glad exists.
What we look for
Five things tell us a site can hold a complete neighborhood.
Enough land for a clustered, walkable village with majority conservation around it.
Half the site or more permanently protected: forever-wild land, working farmland, public trails.
A planned development district or mixed-use potential, entitled or entitle-able for homes, retail, and hospitality.
Near population centers with documented in-migration.
Ground that can hold retail, hospitality, shared infrastructure, and a working landscape.
How it starts
A conversation and a site visit.
Jonathan Drescher spent two decades structuring transactions with landowners on large mixed-use projects and has built participations that protect landowner interests over long development timelines. Jeffrey Shumaker brings the planning expertise that determines whether a site develops into something the surrounding community accepts and supports. Specific structures, valuation approaches, and timing are discussed in person, after we have walked the land and understood your goals.

A concise brief on how landowner partnerships are structured, what conservation means for your land, and how a conversation begins.
Built for generations.
Through traditional neighborhood design principles, sustainable energy systems, and community service programs, we can begin to repair the inadvertent damages of sprawl and improve the quality of life in America.
