Downtown Property Owners & Developers

As a property owner or developer in Downtown Hopewell, you play a significant role in the revitalization movement and in preserving the historic character of our community. Our goal is to make all downtown properties functional and profitable, for the benefit of the Hopewell community and for you as an investor and stakeholder.

HDP can assist you every step of the way – from facilitating a buyer for your property to providing free rehab designs (architectural sketches) and connecting you with the Downtown Design Review Committee to recruiting tenants.
