“Our experience working with the founder of Oak City Development as the head of a general contractor building several retail pharmacy locations for our firm and a Fortune 10 healthcare company was nothing short of exemplary. Staying on top of all facets of those projects kept them on time, on budget and delivered at the highest quality. They were one of our go-to general contractors mainly because of Jeff personally and his integrity, personal responsibility and attention to every detail. I would recommend Oak City Development as the top choice of general contractors.”
- John Cogan, Director of Development – Summit Realty Advisors, LLC
"My experience working with Jeff as a regional fee developer on ground-up pharmacy projects throughout Virginia was second to none. His attention to detail, commitment to quality, and client-first approach consistently resulted in projects that were delivered on time and within budget. Jeff brought a level of accountability and leadership that made a measurable difference at every stage of the process. Based on that track record, I have complete confidence in his capabilities and would strongly recommend Oak City Development for comprehensive real estate development services."
