What deChase does

deChase Miksis Development is a privately held, Boise-headquartered real estate development firm founded in 2007 that provides full-service development management for complex mixed-use, multifamily, commercial, and public projects across the Western United States. The firm represents property owners, developers, and public entities from site acquisition and feasibility through entitlements, financing, design and construction management, lease-up, and asset stabilization, generating revenue through negotiated per-project development management fees (professional services model). Its delivered portfolio exceeds 2.5 million square feet across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, spanning workforce and affordable housing (often LIHTC/HUD-supported), market-rate and student multifamily, healthcare (notably the 412,000 SF LEED Platinum OHSU Center for Health & Healing), commercial buildings, auto dealerships, and public-private partnership assets such as parking structures and community facilities.

The firm differentiates on three execution pillars: (1) deep regulatory and entitlement expertise demonstrated through repeat engagements with HUD, CCDC, the City of Boise, and various urban renewal agencies; (2) sustainable design leadership, with multiple LEED Platinum, Gold, and Silver certifications including the first LEED Platinum car dealership in the world (Kendall Toyota Eugene); and (3) a track record of national and regional recognition, including the ULI Jack Kemp Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing Award (2021) and ENR Mountain States Best Projects (2019). Underlying technology is conventional project management tooling rather than a proprietary platform; the firm's core asset is its 1–10 person team's cumulative development experience and partnership network across public agencies, institutional clients (Kendall Auto Group, OHSU, Eugene Family YMCA, Northwest Community Credit Union), and repeat co-developers such as Edlen & Co. and Pivot North Architecture.
