Development Partner
Northpoint
Northpoint Development is based in the Southeast and specializes in real estate development and investment across a range of property types—including industrial, office, and retail spaces. Their work often involves managing the entire development process, from site selection and acquisition to construction and property management. Northpoint was founded by CEO Mark Hall, a legacy land developer who has spent over 30 years in the industry.
Northpoint blends small-town values with big-city scale, fostering long-term relationships that evolve from mere acquaintances to trusted friends. Their roots are deeply planted in the principles of hard work and personal connection, values learned from their early days walking the rural farms of south Georgia. They approach every deal with a handshake and a commitment to excellence, reflecting their dedication to both their projects and the communities they invest in.
In the often impersonal world of real estate development, Northpoint stands apart by bringing a personal touch to the work. As a tight-knit team with generational experience, they genuinely care about their partners, the quality of their projects, and the future of the communities they are helping to shape.
Northpoint’s vision is both forward-thinking and grounded in deep industry knowledge. With decades of experience, they possess a keen foresight that positions them as natural visionaries in the realms of industrial, commercial, and residential development. Their strategic acumen and savvy enable them to navigate the complexities of real estate with precision, making them the ideal partners for turning ambitious projects into reality.
