Our Story: Crafting Exceptional Living Experiences
The Nord Development Group origin story is marked by its passion, creativity, and a heartfelt dedication to enact positive change in communities across America. Guided by our steadfast northern star, President and Founder Joseph Rossi, our unique approach marries acute business acumen with an unwavering commitment to kindness and positivity.
Joseph has imbued Nord with his personal love for realizing upscale and sustainable community developments. Throughout his multi-year tenure at Southern Land Company, he brought to life projects worth nearly $2 billion in some of the country’s most competitive and highest barrier-of-entry markets. His ability to visualize the extraordinary potential of ordinary properties, combined with his ceaseless creativity and passion, has made him a true pioneer in luxury property development.
A desire to chart his own course and establish a firm with a unique, warm-hearted approach to property development led to his founding of Nord Development Group. With a firm belief in the ethos of ‘doing good by doing good’, Joseph has instilled a sense of benevolence in every aspect of our operations.

Who We Are: The Faces Behind Nord Development Group
At the heart of Nord Development Group is Joseph Rossi, Nord’s Founder and Managing Director. Joseph brings a distinctive blend of financial acumen, visionary creativity, and an unyielding love for property development to every level of Nord. Inspired by the beauty of architecture and design and the art of value engineering, he dreamed of establishing a firm that embodied these passions – and thus, Nord Development Group was born.
Portfolio and investment diversity form an integral part of our DNA, making us versatile and resilient in an ever-changing market. But it’s not just about financial success. At Nord, we understand that it’s the people who make a company, and we champion a culture of creative cooperation.
Joseph’s vision was to foster a synergistic working culture that allows all creatives to collaborate and cross-pollinate ideas across departments and projects. This ethos of creative cooperation is geared towards service and proactive problem-solving.
Nord’s mission is bolstered by the unwavering support of investment partner New York-based Ferrandino & Son, who have built a reputable, nationwide name in the investment landscape over their decades of stewardship. Their support and earnest belief in Nord’s mission form the bedrock of our growth.
Together, we share a common vision – to create outstanding living spaces that not only redefine luxury but also foster community, embody sustainability, and enhance the beauty of their surroundings.
Community Ethos and Environmental Sustainability: Building a Better Future Together
Guided by the principle of “beginning with the end in mind”, Nord Development Group is committed to shaping a brighter future for our communities and the environment. Each decision we make and every action we take embodies our core values of passion, positivity, and excellence.
We take deep pride in our community ethos and believe it is the single element that sets us apart from every other firm in the country. This commitment to the local community drives us to create properties that not only serve as exceptional residences but also enrich the neighborhoods they’re part of.
Moreover, Nord leads with devotion to environmentally friendliness. By incorporating energy-efficient utilities, adopting modern recycling practices, and promoting environmentally-conscious living, we ensure our properties reflect Nord’s innate respect and care for the environment.
To us, developing unforgettable properties gives us the privileged opportunity to uplift communities, harmonize residents with their surrounding environment, and leave a positive, lasting impact. “Whatever we do, we do it the best we possibly can” – and that extends to our responsibility to create a sustainable, kinder, and more positive world for us all.
