Oak City Development is a Raleigh-based real estate development firm committed to building thoughtful, community-centered projects across the Triangle. We specialize in commercial construction and full lifecycle development, with a focus on quality, long-term value, and the people we serve.
With over 28 years of experience and more than $800 million in completed residential and commercial development, we bring deep market insight and hands-on leadership to every phase of the process—from land acquisition and entitlement strategy to horizontal improvements and vertical construction.
We lead with integrity, transparency, and collaboration. Every project begins with a conversation: What does success look like? What does the community need? How can we deliver lasting value?
By aligning project vision with practical execution, we help clients navigate complex processes with clarity and confidence. We work closely with design teams, municipalities, trade partners, and owners to keep communication open and goals aligned from day one.
Our commitment doesn’t end at delivery—we build relationships, not just structures.
Jeff Havener, Founder and Principal of Oak City Development, has spent nearly three decades delivering impactful projects throughout the Southeast. Known for his ethical leadership and solution-oriented mindset, Jeff has held senior roles in both development and general contracting, leading high-performing teams and scaling operations across diverse project types.
He is a licensed General Contractor and Real Estate Broker in North Carolina and a trusted partner to owners, municipal leaders, and project teams alike.
Outside of work, Jeff is married with two children and actively involved in the Raleigh community.
“Having worked alongside Jeff for years, I have seen the way he drives success through clear communication and organization. His high level of standard is not just for his project or team, but himself as well. It doesn’t matter what the project is, when Jeff is at the helm, it will be done right.”
- Paul Duncan, Chief Development Officer – West77 Partners
“I worked with Jeff on multiple greenfield Pharmacy Retail Store construction projects and all of these were managed professionally, safe and brought in on or under budget and on or ahead of schedule. These were the Best Store turnovers and projects out of the 30+ projects I oversaw and directed. Jeff was one of the best Project Managers I worked with out of the 23 plus years in Project Development and Management.”
- Steve Robertson, PMP, Senior Manager – Construction
