Construction is a multi tiered process, requiring flawless communication, fiscal awareness and realistic objectives. Understanding that each project is unique, our business model offers tailored services for our clients that are cost effective, efficient and thorough, making Eastwood Development a key resource during the planning and execution processes.

Our Services

Our belief in the power of “the home as a concept” drives our passion to build beautiful work. Each project offers an intriguing set of design and building challenges. Balancing these challenges and keeping our client’s ideal concept in mind is our ultimate goal. Our process is transparent, allowing space for creative and pragmatic dialogue throughout the course of the work. In the end, our clients are informed, relaxed and empowered, which allows their level of involvement to be a choice rather than an obligation.

Entitlement

Planning a project inevitably begins with questions; How long will this project take? What is the zoning ordinance for this neighborhood?  What are the height limits? Can we fast track the design/build process? Eastwood Development has a proven track record of expediting the permitting process on a wide variety of projects in San Francisco. We understand how to navigate the Planning Department process, and along the way have developed productive relationships in order to accomplish our objectives within tight time frames.

Build

Staffed with various experienced and skilled trade professionals, Eastwood is able to perform the majority of work with very few outside contractors. This self-perform model allows our company to keep overhead costs down and equally streamlines scheduling, allowing us to manage the quality of our project execution.

Design

Simple. Clean. Warmly inviting. Our experience as designers and trade professionals allows us to develop work that is uniquely accurate, having both feet firmly planted in design and construction. From the direction of the sunlight coming into your new kitchen to the materials constructing your bathroom floor, we believe in pleasing, stable solutions.

Professional Services

Relationships with a wide range of professionals, including architects, investors, realtors, structural engineers, tradesmen and more are continually developed and maintained. We engage with our professional team of associates, and leverage this network often in order to achieve ambitious goals on time and on budget.

Lucas Eastwood is founder and president of Eastwood Development. After serving in two combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan as a member the 82nd Airborne Division and a Special Operations Unit, Lucas moved to San Francisco not knowing what his future held.

Lucas earned his contractor’s license in 2007 and began building his company from the ground up, one project at a time. From nothing but a dream of what he might be able to accomplish, Lucas has grown his company to include a varied portfolio of sophisticated residential home builds for clients. He also began creating rewarding investment opportunities comprised of single family projects in San Francisco to large scale residential developments and multi-unit long-term and short-term real estate assets in San Francisco and Portland. Lucas remains driven by his ambitious spirit as well as dedication to being a family owned and employee centered organization. He has an ability to bring increasingly architecturally sophisticated ventures to realization. He continues to be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the business from acquisition and investment to the design and build of development and client projects.

Lucas grew up on and is an enrolled tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) in Oregon.

Lucas won the Army Commodation Medal (ACROM), Army Achievement Medal (AAM) as well as an Expert Infantryman Badge (EIM), and worked for a semester at West Point instructing cadets in live fire exercises.

Lucas has volunteered for the last 17 years at the Friendship House in San Francisco.

While attending AAU, her curiosity about design as it relates to physical construction grew, which ultimately lead her to Eastwood Development.
