TierView Development

What TierView Development does

TierView Development is a privately held, women-led boutique real estate development firm founded in 2013 and headquartered at 1357 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. The company develops, owns, and operates multi-family residential real estate across two primary markets — Philadelphia, PA and Austin, TX — with a portfolio spanning 13 properties and 500+ units, representing several hundred thousand square feet of commercial, mixed-use, and residential space and an asset base referenced at approximately $30 million.

The firm's core activity is ground-up new construction, adaptive reuse of historic structures (churches, schools, munitions warehouses, 1850s mansions, 1730s carpet mills), and value-add renovations. Projects range from 8-unit boutique conversions (e.g., Graffiti Lofts, 2013) to 121-unit mid-rise developments (Iron Rose, planned 2025). TierView monetizes through recurring monthly rental income on owned units and operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — TierView Property Management (tenant relations, maintenance for 13 properties and 500+ residents) and TierView Construction (in-house build-out following Bill Strehse's 2023 hire) — which capture margin otherwise paid to third parties.

Investment opportunities are distributed to accredited institutional and individual investors through a dedicated Appfolio-powered investor portal. Marketing and leasing rely on a digital-first direct-to-consumer approach: company website, email newsletter, and Instagram/LinkedIn/TikTok/YouTube. There is no proprietary technology stack; smart-home features (Latch access, Peloton, Echelon) are vendor-supplied. No external funding rounds, institutional backers, or parent company are disclosed.
