Featured Development
14-47 29th Avenue
Astoria, Queens · Boutique Mixed-Use Residential Development
14-47 29th Avenue is the first flagship expression of the Matthew David Development platform: a high-barrier New York City neighborhood, an underutilized parcel, a design-forward residential vision, and a construction-first execution plan.

High-conviction NYC opportunities.
Development Philosophy
Development is won long before construction begins.
Matthew David Development evaluates each opportunity through the full life cycle of the asset before capital is committed — acquisition, underwriting, design, entitlement, procurement, construction, lease-up, refinance, and long-term ownership.
The platform is built around construction intelligence, design restraint, and disciplined execution so that risk is reduced early, decisions are aligned, and value is protected from concept through stabilization.
Portfolio Criteria
Every project must improve the building, strengthen the neighborhood, and honor the institution we are creating.
Urban Infill
Overlooked sites in established, transit-connected neighborhoods.
Design Restraint
Quiet architecture, honest materials, and timeless proportions.
Construction Intelligence
Projects structured around real execution, not theoretical assumptions.
Long-Term Hold
Buildings developed as enduring assets rather than short-term transactions.
