Modular Development Partners

We source the land, structure the capital, and develop the pipeline that flows through the TMG manufacturing platform. Every project begins with MDP.

President — Modular Development Partners LLC

Richard J. deGorter

Rick deGorter brings more than thirty years of experience in real estate finance, development, and capital markets to his role as President of Modular Development Partners. His career spans the full arc of the development process — from land acquisition and entitlement through financing, construction management, and asset disposition — with a particular focus on Opportunity Zone structuring, public-private partnerships, and complex joint ventures. Prior to founding MDP, Rick served in senior leadership roles at Pulte Home Corporation, where he oversaw ten operating divisions with annual revenue exceeding $300 million, and at Leedco Corporation, an operating subsidiary of a $6.5 billion financial institution, where he created and managed a diversified portfolio of real estate development companies across the United States.

Our Role in the Platform

The development engine of TMG

MDP is not a conventional developer. We are the front end of an integrated manufacturing platform — identifying and structuring opportunities that are optomized for delivery by TMG’s full system.

This means we evaluate every site, every deal, and every capital structure through the lens of platform efficiency: Does this project maximize the output of the MMP factory network?  Does it qualify for the economic development designations that compress financing cost?  Does it create the right conditions for ARCO-Murray’s guaranteed delivery?

The answer to those questions is what produces returns that conventional development cannot match.

"Every project is sized and structured to run through the platform — not adapted to it after the fact."

Active Pipeline

4,800+ units under development

Mixed Use Development

MDP as anchor tenant developer. The Brawley site carries five overlapping economic development designations: FTZ #257, Opportunity Zone, HUB Zone, NADBank border-region, and USDA Rural Development — creating a capital formation environment unlike any other manufacturing site in the country.

Strategic Evolution

Expertise in Management, Strength in Ownership

MDP operates through a dual-perspective narrative. We provide high-level development management services to external partners while simultaneously acting as the lead developer for our proprietary project portfolio. This unique position allows us to apply owner-level discipline to every advisory engagement.

Strategic guidance for institutional partners looking to optimize modular project delivery.

Proprietary Asset Growth

Direct investment and development of high-yield industrial and residential modular assets.

Risk-Mitigated Execution

Leveraging our balance sheet and operational data to ensure certainty of outcome.

hInternal Framework

Modular. Precise. Scalable.

"Modular Development Partners sometimes invests in upgrading production capabilities, (i.e. adding light gauge steel manufacturing capabilities) for members of the Modular Manufacturing partners factory network."

Capital Deployment

Elevating the Factory Network

MDP actively invests in the future of modular construction by providing capital and technical expertise to upgrade production capabilities within the MMP network.

Light Gauge Steel (LGS)

Advanced manufacturing of precision cold-formed steel components for high-rise modular applications.

Efficiency Increase in Network Partner Factories

The Brawley Advantage

Five designations. One site. Unmatched capital access.

The 4639 N. 8th Street Brawley facility is the prototype for TMG’s Energy Independence Industrial Research Park model — and it carries an extraordinary combination of economic development designations that no comparable manufacturing site in the country can match.

Each designation independently unlocks distinct financing mechanisms. Together, they create a layered capital stack that can source equipment financing, working capital, grant funding, and tax advantage simultaneously — reducing effective project cost and expanding investor return.
