At Oak City Development, we believe great places begin with the right size — sites that strengthen neighborhood character, support local businesses, and prioritize walkability, sustainability, and green connections. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, we bring 28+ years of experience, over $800 million in completed development, and a hands-on approach to projects that larger firms often overlook.
Founder Jeff Havener leads every project, drawing on a background in civil engineering and business management to ensure that every detail — from entitlement through construction — is executed with precision. Our focus is small-scale retail, office, adaptive reuse, and greenway-connected infill projects, typically under $3 million, transformed into places that last.
From site selection and entitlement to design coordination and construction oversight, Oak City provides the leadership and attention to detail that turn underutilized properties into resilient community assets.
Big-developer experience. Small-project focus. Sustainable, community-minded results. That’s Oak City Development.
Built for People. Rooted in Place.
