Not just buildings
Elevating the living standards of children, families, and individuals through affordable and workforce housing, early education, and community-driven development.
More Than Development—We Build Belonging
Bogan Developments is a minority-led real estate development firm based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, transforming underinvested neighborhoods into thriving, inclusive communities.
We specialize in affordable and workforce housing paired with thoughtfully designed amenities that inspire stability, connection, and opportunity. Guided by our ELITE standard—Effort, Leadership, Impact, Teamwork, and Execution—we are redefining what it means to build housing by putting people at the center of every project.
Development with a Profound Daily Impact
Affordable Workforce Housing.
Luxury affordable and workforce housing empowers low- to moderate-income individuals to build generational wealth, foster community pride, and create a stable foundation for pursuing their dreams. Each Bogan development reflects the same standard of quality, design, and care—ensuring that excellence is never a privilege, but a promise.
Redefining What It Means to Build Community
Complete Neighborhoods.
We design with purpose—creating complete neighborhoods where people can live, work, and play. Through thoughtful design, disciplined execution, and deep community engagement, our developments strengthen the fabric of neighborhoods, create pathways for upward mobility, and provide spaces where people can dream, grow, and thrive.
As our CEO Jamauri Bogan describes: “A complete neighborhood is walkable, has access to groceries, a place to get your haircut, housing, and neighborhood amenities—paired with improved infrastructure where people can live, work, and play.”
Meaningful Change
Elevating Living Standards. Transforming Futures.
Every Bogan development is an investment in long-term community transformation. Our dynamic, mixed-use projects connect people, businesses, and services, creating opportunities for growth and stability.
We lift up entire neighborhoods—not just vacant lots—by expanding access to affordable housing, education, and local enterprise. Each project moves us closer to a future where every resident can meet most of their daily needs within a complete, thriving community.
