Revival Development

What Revival Development does

Revival Development is a privately held commercial real estate development management and advisory firm headquartered in Washington, DC. Founded and led by Tim Hill, the firm provides four integrated service lines: BD/Strategy (RFP process, visioning, feasibility underwriting, marketing), Development/Design (design oversight, development management, construction document review, bid management and value engineering), Investment Management (asset management, scheduling and budgeting, project management oversight, contract review), and Sales and Leasing Agent (commercial leasing, market research, merchandising) services. The firm differentiates through specialized placemaking, food hall development, and curated leasing capabilities that target the repositioning of underutilized properties into mixed-use and retail destinations.

The firm's client base spans commercial real estate property owners, lenders, brokers, and municipalities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a quote-based professional services engagement model. Brokerage, sales, and leasing services are delivered through an affiliation with TTR Sotheby's International Realty, under which Tim Hill holds salesperson agent licenses in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia.

Revival Development is a sub-10-person boutique operation with no external institutional funding and no disclosed revenue. Its marketed project portfolio spans the United States (Washington DC, Arlington VA, Santa Monica CA, Garden Grove CA) and international markets including China, Malaysia, the Netherlands, India, and Egypt, although the bulk of active and current-phase projects are concentrated in the Washington DC metro area, particularly the National Landing district near Amazon HQ2. Go-to-market is primarily reputation-driven through the founder's industry network, board memberships at GWU's CREUA and REFA, and referral channels tied to prior roles at MRP Realty ($1.7B in projects led) and JBG SMITH ($3.1B in projects overseen, including Amazon HQ2).
