Safe, beautiful, sustainable housing is not a luxury — it’s a right. We challenge the status quo of affordable development, proving thoughtful design and responsible construction can coexist with accessibility and community impact.
The housing crisis doesn’t wait, and neither do we. DBA was built on a singular belief: that every person deserves a safe, beautiful place to call home. We’re a mission-driven development company based in Orlando, proving that safe, sustainable housing and thoughtful design can remain genuinely affordable.
Our work spans new affordable and mixed-income multifamily development, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, LEED-aligned eco-friendly construction, and design-build consulting on entitlements, zoning, and financing across Central and Southeast Florida.
Every project starts with people — understanding community needs before a single line is drawn.
Green building practices aren’t an add-on. They’re woven into every decision we make.
From land acquisition to ribbon-cutting, we handle every phase of the affordable housing development lifecycle.
New ground-up construction of multifamily, mixed-income, and workforce housing designed for lasting community impact.

Expert guidance on entitlements, zoning, financing structures, and design to streamline your development timeline.
We work alongside residents, municipalities, and nonprofits to ensure every development strengthens the neighborhood it serves.
