Resourcefulness, Purpose & Service
How We Got Into Real Estate Development
In the early days, our founder Josu’e was not a real estate developer, he was a first-time home buyer and a veteran home buyer. A few years after purchasing as a first-time home buyer in Somerville, Josue became a licensed real estate agent focusing on property management and sales. Once Josu’e became comfortable with the investing side of the real estate business he started rehabbing multi-family homes in and around the Winter
Hill neighborhood of Somerville, MA. To further his education, Josu’e found himself back in school learning construction management. While in college one professor challenged Josu’e to really focus on understanding real estate development because it seemed like the natural path and the direction Josu’e was heading towards. In 2021 Josu’e started Velney Development and never looked back. Today Josu’e lives in Roxbury. A neighborhood of Boston that he loves and a neighborhood that he feels gives Velney Development the best opportunity for growth because of its proximity to Velney Development’s current projects and his hometown of Somerville. Josu’e is currently working on developing ground-up apartment projects in Roxbury, Roslindale, Dorchester, and Mattapan.
The Future of Velney Development Will Be Mix-Use and Lab Space
We believe Mix-Use development is a great opportunity for our company. Developing mix-use buildings will
provide our investors and the company with a diversified portfolio. In addition, Mix-Use development projects will
nurture an environment that allows our residents the opportunity to live, work and play in the same
community.
Residential development will always be the backbone of Velney Development; however, we see opportunities in
other development sectors. One of the sectors we are focusing on is lab space. We feel Boston is a perfect
location for lab space development due to the demand and proximity to universities like MIT, Harvard
University, and Tufts University.
