Mission Statement
Patrick Lucas, President of Lucas Development Company, pushes the boundaries and breaks the stereotype of the average property developer. Not limiting himself to one area of new construction or development, Lucas specializes in all the aspects of his projects from start to finish, including the initial concept, land acquisition, land use approvals, financing, arranging the site surveying, engineering, architectural, construction contracts, construction management and marketing of the project. Lucas is very hands on in all aspects and is therefore able to make changes if the circumstances require. Experienced and tested over the course of past booming and struggling markets, Lucas is a proven developer in the Portland Metro area.
