Building Enduring and Attainable Housing Communities
Development
At Great Expectations, we build high-quality, affordably priced housing that serves working families across the Pacific Northwest.
From new construction in transit-rich urban hubs to mixed-use communities anchored by local businesses, our projects are designed to endure — financially, socially, and environmentally.
We specialize in unlocking complex sites, assembling world-class design and construction teams, and partnering with mission-aligned stakeholders to deliver housing that is both beautiful and attainable. Our integrated in-house development and property management teams ensure disciplined execution from concept to lease-up.
Our developments are financed through a combination of private capital and targeted tools for affordable housing and sustainability. We were the first developer in Washington State to use C-PACE financing for a residential project and have made extensive use of the Qualified Opportunity Zone program — reducing our cost of capital, improving project viability, and delivering strong after-tax returns for investors.
These case studies show how we bring our mission to life: creating homes that residents can afford and investors can believe in.
