Areté Collective was born out of the desire to create a new way of development for a new way of life. Embracing the meaning behind our name, Areté is a call to live at one’s highest potential.
As an award-winning master-planned community developer, we bring together a collective of industry leaders who use their experience in shaping luxury communities over the last two decades to bring that level of excellence to a broader market.
From residential communities to golf courses to private resorts, we create inspired communities that renew the relationship between the land and people.
Areté Collective brings together community and culture while thoughtfully preserving the unique aspects of the spaces they develop – establishing vibrant new avenues for homeowners and neighbors to convene and connect.
With sustainability as a foundational pillar, our communities are thoughtfully designed to support integrated planning while embodying low-impact principles at every step.
Surroundings that draw us in and inspire us.
Spaces in time where we experience life with our senses ignited.
Moments that foster the feeling of being in tune with the world.
Opportunities to live with an active body, open mind, and curious spirit.
Areté Collective builds on the 26-year track record of the award-winning Denton House Design Studio. Together, we are a group of seasoned property development executives, distinguished land planners, world-renowned architects and designers, and longtime leaders in the residential real estate development, land development, and hospitality sector. From planning and design to marketing and financial management, Areté Collective boasts a vertically integrated model that allows us to work efficiently and in sync across all teams.
Throughout our years of experience, we’ve learned the importance of treading lightly and respectfully on this Earth. Our properties start and end with the land – and our goal is to integrate this approach into life’s experiences every day.
“Areté Collective comprises industry leaders who have helped shape community placemaking over the last two decades. From finance and development to master planning and design, our vertically integrated model allows us to unlock greater value for the people, places, and communities we serve.”
Superior results are achieved based on financial acumen, stewardship, and fiscal accountability.
As goal-oriented, highly skilled collaborators, we are committed to executing each project with quality and transparency, remaining time- and budget-sensitive across all facets of development and ongoing management.
The team has designed, developed, and operated memorable destinations in some of the most sought-after locations worldwide. Our projects are renowned for inspiring homebuyers and guests alike to be active outdoors and to immerse themselves in local cultures.
The long-term goal is to create positive outcomes for partners, home builders, clients, and the community. We are dedicated to being thoughtful stewards of the land and of our investors’ capital and improving the standard of living in our communities and surrounding areas.
