This is our
development page.
We build, renovate, and reimagine homes across Chicago’s western suburbs — from full gut rehabs to ground-up spec construction. Every project is developer-led, hands-on, and built to be lived in, not just sold.

Why We Build
We're not just agents. We're the ones on site with the hard hat.
Private Collection began as a brokerage — it grew into a development company because the best inventory doesn’t come from waiting on the MLS, it comes from building it ourselves. Every gut rehab, spec build, and remodel carries the same standard we’d want walking through as a buyer.
What We Do
Four Ways We Build Value
Full-service development, from acquisition through final punch list.
01
New Construction & Spec Builds
Ground-up homes designed and built on speculation for today’s suburban buyer — from lot acquisition to move-in ready.
02
Gut Rehabilitation
Full-strip renovations on established homes in premier suburbs — new mechanicals, new layout, new life.
03
Home Remodeling
Kitchens, baths, and additions for homeowners who want their current house to finally work for them.
04
Property Flips
Undervalued properties acquired, upgraded, and repositioned for sale — where the numbers work before the hammer swings.

How We Work
From Lot to Listing
01
Source
We identify the property or lot — off-market, auction, or on-market — and underwrite it like an investor, not a homeowner.
02
Design
Layout, finishes, and specs are set to what buyers in that specific suburb actually want — not a generic spec-home formula.
03
Build
Hands-on project management through the entire build or rehab, whether it’s our project or a partner build.
04
Deliver
Finished, punch-listed, and either listed for sale or handed to the homeowner ready to live in.
The Developer
Builder first. Broker second.
Private Collection Developments is the construction and renovation arm behind the Private Collection brand — the projects that don’t come from a listing appointment, but from a set of plans and a dumpster in the driveway. We flip, we rehab, we build new, and we do it across Chicago’s most sought-after western suburbs.
