Your trusted partner, in complex high-profile capital projects.
Based in Charlottesville, Matthews Development Company was established in 1999 to provide the highest quality professional real estate development consulting services on its own account and to select clients nationwide. Our typical engagements are complex, high-profile facilities for mission-focused clients that require an understanding of the full range of financial, political, technical, and regulatory issues surrounding a development and construction program.
Our Projects
Our portfolio includes five-star hospitality resorts, acute and post-acute hospitals, LifePlan communities and other senior-living facilities, higher education, community centers, medical and corporate offices, and a long-term relationship with a World Heritage Site. We have assisted visionary clients with well over a $5B worth of capital projects in furtherance of their missions.

“As a regional health system with ten hospitals and hundreds of outpatient locations, we work with several different program management partners on many types of projects. We have found Matthews Development collaborative, mission-focused project leaders. Their experts focus on delivering the desired outcome for the Owner, providing effective decision-making support, keeping everyone informed, and making the process fun and exciting. They are an outstanding partner for large strategic projects.”
“It is a pleasure to recommend Matthews Development Company. We have relied on Mike as our owner representative on every major project for more than 20 years, from the straightforward to cumbersome and complex (the latter being the norm). Mike can fluidly move between contractors and lead donors, with credibility and candor, and he has a keen head and a firm hand on budgets and schedules.”
“I cannot recommend the team at Matthews Development enough. We set a high bar for all external partners, and our owner’s representative was no different. From the moment Mike Matthews and his team interviewed with us, we knew they were the right fit. They are knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and most importantly, trusted partners. They have continued to surpass our (very) high expectations and confirm what we hoped to be true – that they are a best-in-class team.”
We take on the responsibility of overseeing and executing complex capital projects on your behalf.
