About - NAVA Real Estate Development

Our Company

NAVA is Colorado’s leading expert in developing healthy projects with dual economic and social returns.

With over 60 years of combined experience, our team has developed more than 11 million square feet of ground-up residential, commercial, office, retail and mixed-use space in the Denver Metro Area. One of a growing population of Certified B Corporations in the world, NAVA is spearheading a global movement to redefine success by voluntarily meeting high standards of transparency, accountability and performance. A thought leader in wellness-focused real estate, we believe healthy, sustainable communities can be good for people, the planet and business.

Conscious development defined.

NAVA strives to make socially-responsible development decisions that result in thriving, diverse communities and a more sustainable future for all. In 2022—for the fourth time in a row—NAVA was recognized by non-profit network B Lab as a ‘Best for the World’ B Corp in the Environment category.

Healthy environments drive healthy returns.

NAVA’s mission is to prove that healthy real estate has the power to both improve lives and strengthen ROI. While a research study demonstrated that people-first design and programming had a significantly positive impact on the well-being of Lakehouse residents, a joint white paper with the International WELL Building Institute focuses on the direct and indirect ways that WELL best practices can influence a project’s bottom line.

Creating regenerative spaces through Realwell.

In 2016, NAVA founded Realwell, Inc., a Colorado-based non-profit organization that unites healthcare professionals, wellness experts, designers and builders with the development community. Our goal is to merge healthy real estate best practices with integrated programming strategies to improve the overall physical and mental well-being of building occupants and end-users.

A progressive approach to placemaking.

The market is driving significant change in the retail and office environments. NAVA executes development, planning and programming strategies that preserve an asset’s positive attributes and incorporate thoughtful mixed-use components in order to capture tenant demand. Our projects combine the optimal team, location, design and programming to create vibrant places built to prioritize people, profits and the environment.
