Development
We secure exceptional properties with natural beauty and lasting value.
Modern Luxury,
Inspired by Nature
At JA Development Group, we craft homes that complement New Mexico's natural landscapes. Each residence reflects refined elegance while honoring the environment.
Our Philosophy
Design Rooted in Place
True luxury is timeless. Every home we build begins with the land itself. We study the light, the views, and the terrain to design spaces that feel inevitable—as if they have always belonged.
Our homes are sanctuaries that embrace the natural beauty of the Sandia Mountains, blending refined modern architecture with the rugged spirit of the Southwest.

Our Founder
Building Where We Live
"When you build where you live, every detail matters more."
Founder James Grage chose to make the East Mountains home after years of building luxury residences in Miami and California. That personal investment drives everything we do.
