Luck Development Partners believes in the power of imagination, the power of exploration and the power of the pioneering spirit. It is with this mindset we consistently emerge with new ways to connect communities to nature, history and culture. For us, creating places is more than a job; it is a passion that drives us to explore new options in designing environments.
Luck Development Partners (LDP), an affiliate of Luck Stone Corporation, began in 1993 with a strong commitment to the same values that make up the foundation of Luck Stone Corporation:
- Leadership
- Commitment
- Integrity
- Creativity
Each day, we rely on these core values to lead our entities through creative exploration. This exploration leads us to create unique places that responsibly complement the surrounding area's historic and natural beauty and will evolve and thrive as time moves forward.
This is the legacy that Luck Development Partners builds.
