Developing land in San Diego

Land Scouting • Entitlements • ADU & Multifamily DeliverySan Diego-based developers helping private homeowners unlock property value through smart, transparent development. From raw land to finished homes—done right, with real expertise and zero upfront capital barriers.

About Us

VDG (Velez Developers Group) is led by Efrain Velela, former Project Engineer at the City of San Diego Public Works. With years of full-cycle delivery on multi-million dollar public projects (planning through construction handover), we now bring that same rigor to private land development and housing.
We focus on helping homeowners and small investors navigate land scouting, zoning, entitlements, ADU construction, and multifamily opportunities.
Local in San Diego first. Scaling nationwide.

What We Deliver

Land Scouting & Acquisition

We scout viable lots (Tues/Thurs dedicated scouting days) and guide acquisition strategy, including due diligence and creative finance options.

Entitlements & Permitting

Full navigation of zoning, permits, environmental reports, and municipal approvals. We’ve done it at city scale—now for you.

ADU & Multifamily Consulting

End-to-end support for Accessory Dwelling Units (single or multi-unit) and small-scale multifamily projects—from design to delivery.

Full Project Delivery
