The Greatest Estate Developer Novels & Stories

Arthur Pemberton had known Edward Vane, my grandfather for forty years. They’d met in business, Property primarily. My grandfather had been a developer in the sixties and seventies, the specific kind that had done very well out of the post-war building boom and had arrived at his sixties with more money than he’d known what to do with and a considerable amount of guilt about how some of it had been made.

I went directly to the lounge. Clarke and Karls is the biggest business and housing redeveloper in Manila. They are known for their mind-blowing residential and building projects. They build million-dollar houses and condominiums on the beach. Despite their so-called achievements, I know their secret. "Mr. Clarke is expecting you, Ma'am Vareen." Just as she said that, Harveel appeared beside me. Still the same old Harveel, arrogant and cocky. I subtly rolled my eyes as I bowed.

"A property conversion in the Hamptons—an old estate being transformed into a wellness retreat. Very high-profile client, apparently." "Sounds intriguing," Thomas said. "Do you know who it is?" "Someone named Maxwell," I replied. "My contact was very mysterious about details, just said he's known for being difficult but also for appreciating innovative design." "Maxwell?" Thomas repeated. I frowned, "Yes. It's said that he's quite reclusive these days, but he used to be a major player in real estate development. Bernard seemed especially eager for me to meet with him personally. Said he specifically requested me after seeing the Milwaukee project."

“That sounds dreamy. What kind of project is it that you will seek me out of the dark to invest in you?” “It’s a big acre of land we’ve acquired and we want to build an estate on it. Houses, grocery shops, malls, supermarkets, tech stores… name it. We want to make it a paradise within the state, and to do so, we need some financial help, which is why we are actively seeking out interested investors.” It is so obvious that Alec had not being paying attention but being the one on the receiving end, Reid keeps his professional cool. “Why not ask your Dad for help? I mean, I hear his company, with his partner is doing pretty good. Above average if I am allowed to say so.”

But who was I to judge the eccentricities of the ultra-wealthy? "Then perhaps you should consider offering her a different kind of gift," I suggested, shifting into a sharp, professional tone. "And as it happens, I might possess the exact opportunity you need." That caught his attention instantly. "What sort of opportunity?" "Jill and Jones Development," I stated directly, keeping my expression entirely flat. It was common knowledge in high-level business circles that the Laurent Estate had been attempting to secure a partnership with Jill and Jones for an upcoming mega-project—a deal that would easily become the largest infrastructure project in the region's history.

I smile sheepishly. He smiles. “We’re real estate developers, we develop buildings. We build restaurants, hotels, and apartments, then rent the buildings out to businesses and that’s where the bulk of our money is made. Then we invest in startups, we own a winery in Spain. We own a resort my grandfather built in Italy; we have a stake in nearly half the businesses in France. That’s because of my grandfather of course my father’s father raised my father there.” He explains. “We also own a real estate company that Damian manages.” He adds. I nod… “So, you’re like really, really rich?” I ask.

To be exact, Philip was the one who paid for it. The estate was located in the most expensive region in Riverdale. Only a total of 30 pieces of land were developed with the cheapest one priced at 30 million! The land which George had purchased was the most expensive one. It was based in the central region with unique features. He had spent a whopping total of 100 million on this piece of land! Of course, the only real estate development company capable of exploiting this piece of land was the best local enterprise in Riverdale—Longford Group.

If I can do this while crippled, I wonder what will happen when I'm finally able to walk again. “Fine! I see that you have done your research. At least we are rest assured that you are not just a figurehead.” He finally gave some acknowledgement even though his words were still wrapped in mockery. “Still doesn't make you competent or qualified like your brother Julian.” He brought my brother up, and I shrugged. He's doing it again. What a complete loser. “If my father, Carlos Estaban, who built this company from scratch. Sustained, and made it what you all know as the largest Conglomerate that we have today.” I clenched my fist.

“You’re underestimating the Golden Estate, Sir York!
