Who We Are.

WE ARE 33NORTH

Founded by Max Frank, a leader in California and Nevada residential and mixed-used development, 33North Development Group is committed to creative residential land planning and architectural design.

A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

Every 33North community is planned to be an asset to the existing community, with a commitment to quality, sustainable design, and neighborhood engagement. At 33North, we have earned recognition for our innovative development concepts, as well as for our collaborative approach to place making.

THE HALLMARKS OF SUCCESS

33North works together with local governments, financial partners, neighboring landowners, architects, design professionals, and existing and future residents to create highly desirable communities, where people are proud to live.

33North’s partners acquired, planned, entitled, and developed some of the most respected residential communities in California and Nevada. Reputation, experience, and relationships are the hallmark of 33North’s success.
