THE BELAIRE GROUP LLC

What THE BELAIRE GROUP LLC does

The Belaire Group LLC is a Dallas, Texas-based professional services firm founded in January 2009 by Marco DePalma that provides development and construction consulting services to senior living operators, multifamily developers, and mixed-use real estate owners across the United States. The firm operates as an Owner's Representative, guiding clients from project inception through site selection, due diligence, design management, regulatory approvals, construction oversight, and final owner occupancy. Service delivery is organized into four modules — Development Assessment, Designing a Plan, Construction Oversight & Monitoring, and Project Delivery for Owner Occupancy — covering market and feasibility studies, master planning, contractor bid evaluation, value engineering, schedule and budget management, and FF&E coordination.

The firm is built around a two-person core leadership team — President Marco DePalma (25+ years of architecture, development, and construction experience, including tenure as Corporate VP at Greystone Communities) and Vice President Kevin Henry (over two decades of design and construction management with a track record of $2.8 billion in design and construction managed across senior living, multifamily, and hospitality). Belaire partners with external consultants and vendors on a project-by-project basis rather than maintaining a large in-house technical staff. The firm has no proprietary technology product, software platform, or patent portfolio; its intellectual property is principally the principals' domain expertise, industry relationships, and project-specific execution reputation.

Revenue is generated through professional consulting fees on a project-specific, quote-based model. The firm does not disclose standard rates publicly, and engagement terms are tailored to project scope and complexity. The firm has delivered projects ranging from $5 million to $275 million in value, with a marquee client base that includes Human Good, Lifespace Communities, Presbyterian Communities and Services, Buckner Retirement Services, Legacy Senior Communities, Friendship Senior Options, Pacific Retirement Services, and Kahala Senior Living, among others. Customer acquisition relies on industry networking, board positions within organizations such as SAGE, AIA, Texas LeadingAge, and Urban Land Institute, and repeat engagements rather than traditional digital marketing channels.

Broad incumbents

• Perkins Eastman (Senior Living Studio): Large architecture and planning firm with a dedicated Senior Living practice covering master planning, repositioning strategy, and design. Comparable on senior living repositioning engagements where Belaire provides owner's representation and development consulting services.
• CBRE (Project Management): Global commercial real estate services firm offering project management and owner's representation services across asset classes including senior living and multifamily. Overlaps with Belaire's core service offering but competes as part of a far larger platform.
• AECOM (Project Management): Global infrastructure and real estate consulting firm with a project management practice covering senior living, multifamily, and mixed-use developments. Overlaps with Belaire's owner's representation and construction consulting services but operates at vastly larger scale.
• Stantec (Project Management): Global design and engineering firm with project management and owner's representation services spanning senior living, multifamily, and mixed-use development. Competes with Belaire on larger engagements as part of a full-service design and consulting platform.
• JLL (Project and Development Services): Global real estate services platform with a large Project and Development Services practice providing owner's representation, construction management, and development consulting. Competes with Belaire on larger senior living, multifamily, and mixed-use engagements but as part of a much broader portfolio.

• Greystone Communities: Senior living development, consulting, and management services firm.

• Wentworth Partners: Owner's representation and construction management consulting firm serving senior living, healthcare, and institutional clients. Directly comparable to Belaire as a specialized owner's rep competing for similar multi-phase development and repositioning projects.
