Middle-housing infill, thoughtfully executed.

Scholls Development unlocks value from oversized SW Portland and Washington County lots — partitioning them into duplexes, detached pairs, and cottage clusters built for the neighborhoods we live and work in. Margin is created at acquisition through off-market sourcing, and at execution through hyperlocal entitlement fluency.

Our Process

Partition & Land Use

Identifying oversized SFR lots and shepherding them through partition, review, and permitting.

Middle Housing

Duplexes, detached home pairs, and cottage clusters — designed and built to read at the scale of the neighborhoods they sit in.

Off-Market Sourcing

Direct transactions with longtime owners on the seller's timeline — usually without ever listing publicly.
