An instrument for US development

The American Developer is a daily record of US real estate development — the deals, approvals, and data that move the market, ranked for developers and capital.

It is a TREA Group media property with an automated newsroom. Stories are gathered, written, and published by a software system on a daily cycle, editorially overseen by TREA Group. Every article is written from scratch in our own voice, reports only facts that can be verified in a cited source, and links back to those sources in full. We send traffic out to the original reporting and filings; that is part of how this works.

How we cover the market

Each edition is an index: the day's stories are ranked by what matters to people who build and finance. We cover seven beats — development, capital and deals, residential, multifamily and build-to-rent, policy and planning, markets and data, and people and companies — across twelve US markets and the nation.

Our standards

We do not invent numbers or quotes. When a figure cannot be confirmed in a source, it does not run. Direct quotes are short and attributed to the person who said them. When we get something wrong, we correct the article and note the correction with a date. We report; we do not editorialize about individuals.
