Our mission is to transform how land is valued, developed, and protected.
At Bio-Logical Capital we work with investors and landowners to design, build, conserve, and manage diverse land-based projects in urban and rural environments. We believe that a long-term commitment to land and communities with an “enrich, hold, and share” model deepens people’s relationship with the land, supports vibrant communities, establishes a culture of stewardship, and significantly increases the value of land and the consistency of earnings and returns.
We create mixed-use plans on large landscapes that integrate renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, water stewardship, and healthy human communities with ecological restoration and conservation.
We search for locations where people and nature can come together to support sustainable businesses that restore and conserve the land, preserve its history, and create vibrant communities.

Our model of Stewardship Development is different.
Over the past 70 to 80 years, our civilization has repeatedly—regardless of the nuances of place—simplified, segregated, and centralized our systems for food, energy, housing, water management, economic mobility, and social equity.
Around the world, people are recognizing and standing up to the wide range of environmental and social challenges that impact every aspect of human life and our economy. Many of these challenges are rooted in our current, dominant models of development. Examples include massive cornfields, huge power plants, sprawling suburbs, giant dams, wealth inequality, and food deserts. These models have failed to adequately safeguard our health, quality of life, natural systems, resource security, and integrity as a global community.
But at every step, we have gained knowledge and technologies that enable wiser options. The most effective solutions share common roots in decentralized, biologically-inspired approaches. Such practices often have lower up-front capital requirements, are less reliant on imported resources, and create safer and more comfortable living environments for people.
We see evidence in broad shifts toward diversified and organic agriculture, energy-efficient buildings, mixed-use neighborhoods, natural systems for water management, low-carbon transportation systems, and innovative investment models for achieving social impact outcomes.
We call this approach Stewardship Development.
