A Whole New Approach
to Land Investment & development
Some see dirt. We see communities ready to be transformed.
What is Artisan Land Companies, LLC?
Artisan Land Companies offers a new approach to land investment. We believe every tract of land has a purpose just waiting to be fulfilled.
We identify and invest in strategically-located land assets that have the potential to transform communities, then create fully-zoned, development-ready land tracts for sale to commercial and residential developers.
Through public-private partnerships with municipal and government entities, our projects foster economic development, job growth, infrastructure enhancement and improved quality of life in the Southeastern United States.
In the process, we strive to offer protection of principal and above-market returns for our partners and investors.

Our 4-Step Process to Land Investment & Development
Identify great
strategic sites
Our team takes a proactive and visionary approach to each of our projects. Everything we do is done with purpose, starting with locating land assets with possibilities beyond what others may see.
Acquire on
all-equity basis
We’re constantly assessing market conditions to ensure that our investments make sound financial sense and we are skilled at the negotiations involved in getting the highest possible value out of
our acquisitions.
Enhance the value
of the land
Through our “Reimagination Process,” we take the blank slate that is the land and give it purpose. We identify primary drivers and potential users, then develop a master plan with complementary land uses.
Harvest &
transform
Our final step is bringing the reimagined land back to market, fully packaged with a new story to tell and ready transform the surrounding community.
Our commitment to transforming and enhancing the communities where we undertake our projects forms the foundation of Artisan’s corporate and investment philosophy.
The Artisan team focuses its land investment and land development activities in those communities in which it is possible to secure a strategically located development or redevelopment site AND establish effective public-private partnerships, aligning to create transformative new real estate projects.
When properly structured, these partnerships can result in a truly comprehensive enhancement with benefits extending far beyond the borders of the initial Artisan development project and to the entire surrounding community.
Building Communities
Creating transformative projects requires a land investment and development team with extensive expertise in multiple real estate disciplines. Our leadership team brings decades of experience in:

Atlanta real estate veterans see opportunity; new firm to target land for development.
A new Atlanta firm says it is raising $50 million to acquire land, hoping to scoop up development sites at a discount. Artisan Land Cos. and the real estate veterans behind it aim to capitalize on high interest rates that have battered property values. Land prices are down 30% to 40% from a peak a couple years ago, according to real estate observers.
