Slenker Communities - Communities

Future Communities

As the real estate market begins to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression, Slenker Communities has begun planning for success in the emerging upward cycle. Although some of our past lessons learned remain of value, the market and methods for doing business are experiencing a seismic change in the way we will develop residential and mixed-use communities. We are ready for this challenge.

Slenker Communities has always been a leader in the discovery of new products and formulas. Since our founding, Slenker Communities has always avoided following others. We never have developed commodity based products which were market worn, uninspiring and minimally profitable. Slenker Communities has always searched out the "big idea" for new communities and home products that would satisfy the unmet needs of underserved market segments. Because we study demographics, psychographics and migration patterns of potential homebuyers we are willing to be bold. Creating value by anticipating future needs is where Slenker Communities excels.

Past Slenker Communities successes appeared risky to the competition, such as its cutting edge investment in the 55+ communities in the mid-1990's. Not many believed in the depth and strength of this demographic group. Bill Slenker has always maintained that "we get paid for big ideas and would rather go into new market segments and areas where there are undiscovered opportunities.”

At Slenker Communities, we have been actively researching the evolving needs and desires of the market in 2010 and beyond. The political, economic, environmental and physical elements are different. The key to success in this environment is a rare combination of calculated creativity and disciplined execution. As Bill Slenker describes, "this will be an exciting time for courageous thinkers who create ideas that match the needs, desires and demand of the new market. I'm thrilled at the prospect of exploring the new territory of real estate development.” Due to the new cycle beginning at the lowest point since the Great Depression, Slenker Communities believes the opportunities are only limited by the size of the ideas.
