As a principal developer, The Oughtness Group pursues business and real estate development opportunities where our unique skillset and proven track record can create desirable life outcomes for community residents while simultaneously creating attractive returns for our investors.

In its consulting capacity, The Oughtness Group’s approach is to work with communities to help them assess their unique challenges and opportunities.

We would love to talk to you about how we can work together.

Our Name...

The Oughtness Group derives its name from a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s Nobel Peace Prize speech:

“I refuse to accept the idea that the is-ness of man’s current nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up to the eternal ought-ness that forever confronts him.”
