Four of our projects crossed into new phases this week. One is completely wrapped and coming to market. One is in final touch-ups, getting ready for photos. One is getting its foundation completed. And one just cleared permitting and is ready to be built.

It’s pretty wild having them all “evolve” in the same week. At Highmark we take a project through every phase, from finding the lot, lining up financing, all the way to the sale and handoff to new owners. Having four houses hit new phases in the same week lets us simultaneously see the entire process. It’s like having a baby be born the same week you send a teenager off to college.

It also happens to mirror exactly where the company itself is.

We're overhauling our systems to carry our tried-and-true lessons over to every build. Between new software and a more consistent rhythm in the business, we finally have a real grasp on where every project stands at every stage without having to physically be on site checking things off a list.

On paper we have more tasks than we've ever had before. But thanks to better systems, stronger relationships with our subcontractors and vendors, and simply because we've gotten good at this 😤, we're handling that load more effectively than we ever have. For us that means tighter timelines, fewer surprises, and more houses moving through the pipeline at once.

It took a lot of work to get to this point. Today marks 418 days of Highmark being in business, with this whole mission being our sole focus in life.

The systems and rhythm we've built are saving us time and headaches, so we're reinvesting every bit of that time and energy into the areas we've been wanting to dive into more fully.

Our marketing, social media, and presence on the Nashville development stage is something I'm personally spending a lot of time on right now. We're talking with other developers, building partnerships, and bringing true scale to our organization.

With that being said, give the instagram a follow! Send this email list to your friends! We will be providing more interesting updates, information about Highmark, and Nashville development as a whole.
