Development Design

Our development services can be as small as a duplex or multiplex on a property, as large as a multi-family townhome development, or a significant property subdivision plan. The process begins by exploring the property in question and reviewing existing zoning to determine what is possible. If existing zoning does not permit the project goals to be achieved, we will engage in city discussion to determine if rezoning, subdivision, Official Community Plan amendments, or alternative solutions might be possible. Our experience in dealing with city staff will allow us to provide options for the best utilization of the property. We can assist with city applications and coordination in all instances.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Lawrence G.

“I was impressed not only by Sarah’s design ability, but also with her level of construction knowledge. I have heard that a lot of designers are good at making things pretty, but are not that great at understanding how things are actually built- Sarah is fantastic at both. I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know without hesitation.”

Shabir B.

“If you want the best in the west you need to use Sarah Gallop Designs. Her level of professionalism, ability to match materials, tiles, carpet, wall color, hardware, trim details ect. to what I call a provided bible document that all the trades reference, is not only incredible, but combines to make your new build or renovation run smoothly and look out of this world!”

Crystal T.

“We hired Sarah Gallop Design for the complete Architectural and Interior design of our family home. We found that Sarah’s input was paramount in getting this house from the stage of just ideas of what we wanted to the resulting completed home. We wanted something completely unique, both architecturally and for the interiors, and that is what we got!”
