Places with Purpose

From brokerage to construction and redevelopment, I turn real estate potential into places where people can live, work, and connect.

ADAPTIVE REUSE · COMMERCIALDURHAM, NC

Adaptive Reuse of an Existing Building

The Pink Building → Boardinghouse Arts. Through Paradigm Construction, we transformed a former boarding house—turning underutilized space into a place for creativity and community.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTIONDURHAM, NC

Small-Lot Housing in Durham

Simmons Small Homes. Three thoughtfully designed, detached homes on small lots demonstrate how Durham’s then-current Expanding Housing Choices (EHC) regulations helped create more attainable homeownership opportunities in an established neighborhood.

Development

I identify and pursue opportunities to transform underutilized land and properties into purposeful development. From creative site planning and subdivision to navigating zoning and development regulations, I look for ways to unlock value while responding to community needs.

Construction

Residential, commercial, and adaptive reuse projects through Paradigm Construction. From new construction and missing-middle housing to reimagining existing buildings, I look for creative ways to maximize land, preserve valuable resources, and unlock overlooked potential.

Brokerage

As a Realtor with Paradigm Properties, I bring an investor’s and builder’s perspective to selected real estate acquisitions and dispositions, helping clients make informed decisions and gain a deeper understanding of real estate along the way.

WE BUILD TRUST THROUGH THE WORK

In Peter’s Words

Paradigm completed two challenging historic restoration projects for Reinvestment Partners.  The properties are beautiful and the craftsmanship has endured for years.  The proposals were the strongest we received and they did not disappoint.  Paradigm’s strongest attribute is the ability to communicate by listening first and being transparent in their thinking.  It allows for mutual understanding, better problem solving and trust.  The most memorable memory is one of Tiffany Elder and I laughing together.  It is a memory that occurs over and over again as we enjoyed working with each other so much even as we resolved tough problems.  I look forward to working with the team again. Anyone with experience in construction knows that there are unexpected changes and expenses - especially for rehab.  It will happen with Paradigm as well.  The good thing to know is that those changes are explained and justified with a fair price.  Trust is a critical value that Paradigm builds.
