Redevelop your Seattle property with a trusted local builder. Partner with us to unlock potential through smart design, seamless process, and shared opportunity. Unlock the Full Potential of Your Property Seattle’s zoning changes are reshaping what’s possible. We help property owners turn underutilized land into profitable, future-ready housing. Discover What Your Property Could Become Seattle’s recent zoning updates have created unprecedented opportunities for property owners. Parcels once limited to single-family use can now support townhomes, small-scale multifamily, and denser infill housing. But navigating the rules, permits, and development risks is complex. That’s where Olsen Anderson comes in. We’re a vertically integrated Seattle builder and developer with a track record of transforming infill sites into high-demand homes that sell quickly. By partnering with us, you gain: Zoning & entitlement expertise — We understand the latest code changes and how to maximize buildable area. Proven design & construction process — From feasibility through financing to final sale, we handle the heavy lifting. Flexible partnership options — Whether you want to sell outright, redevelop together, or joint venture, we structure deals to fit your goals. Local market insight — Our projects are rooted in Seattle neighborhoods, designed to attract today’s buyers and investors. Step 1: Site Evaluation We assess what’s possible—quickly and honestly. You share the property address. We do the legwork: zoning analysis, feasibility, comps, entitlement potential, site constraints, and market fit. We’ll tell you if we think the site makes sense for a JV—or if a direct sale would be a better fit. Step 2: Deal Structure A clear, custom agreement—built around your goals. We walk through the partnership structure: capital contributions, equity split, estimated returns, timeline, and roles. You’ll know exactly what to expect, what’s at stake, and how the value flows. No surprises, no jargon. Step 3: Project Execution You stay informed. We do the heavy lifting. We manage the entire development process: design, permitting, construction, marketing, and sales. You get regular updates, full transparency, and zero day-to-day responsibilities. You’re a partner, not a project manager. Step 4: Shared Returns When the homes sell, we all win. At sale, you receive your agreed share of the profit. Our books are open. Our process is documented. And our goal is aligned with yours: deliver a project that adds value to your land—and the city around it. For some property owners, a joint venture can unlock more long-term value, design influence, or personal legacy. For others, a clean sale is the right move. Here are a few signs a JV might be worth exploring: You own a large or well-located lot (Think corner parcels, double lots, or infill sites near transit.) You’re open to a longer timeline (Most JV projects take 18–24 months from start to finish.) You’re interested in sharing upside (Higher risk than selling, but higher reward—if you're aligned.) You want a say in what gets built (Many of our JV partners care deeply about what replaces their home.) You’re curious about options (Even if you end up selling, knowing your choices is the smartest place to start.) Let’s explore what’s possible. Get a complimentary feasibility study and clear guidance on whether a joint venture or direct sale is right for your property.

The problem is, “new construction” can still mean shortcuts, layouts that don’t live well, finishes that wear quickly, and small issues that turn into ongoing projects. We believe a new home should give you confidence. That’s why we focus on livability, durability, and the details you’ll care about long after move-in. Design-forward homes, built to last, so you can move in and relax.

Designed for Real Life Natural light, smart storage, functional flow, and layouts that feel good every day. Not just on showing day. Low-Maintenance Materials Materials and finishes selected to perform, so you spend less time fixing and more time living. Built with Precision We sweat the details that protect your investment, so the home looks right, feels right, and holds up over time. Neighborhood Fit Homes that respect the character of Seattle’s best neighborhoods while delivering modern, livable design. Your Dream Home In Your Dream Neighborhood Thoughtfully designed homes in Seattle neighborhoods with walkability, character, and everyday convenience. Ballard Queen Anne Capitol Hill A Home You Can Feel Confident In Thoughtfully designed homes, clear communication, and a builder who stands behind the work, straight from the people who live in them. "We looked at a lot of new construction in Seattle, and Olsen Anderson stood out immediately. The layout supported our lifestyle, the finish quality was solid, and the subtle details stood out. Living here has been exactly what we hoped for." - Homeowner, Ballard Homes That Support Your Lifestyle From Day One We design and build modern homes in Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods, with layouts that live well and details that hold up. Buying a home in Seattle moves fast. When you find the right one, you need to feel confident it was designed thoughtfully and built to last, not rushed to market. Olsen Anderson builds design-forward single-family homes and townhomes in established Seattle neighborhoods where livability, walkability, and long-term value matter. Having delivered and sold over 100 homes across Seattle, we’ve refined a disciplined approach to layout, durability, and neighborhood fit, so each home benefits from what we’ve learned before. Our goal isn’t to build the most homes. It’s to build the right homes. In places that feel calm, functional, and solid from day one, and continue to feel that way years later. We Stand Behind The Homes We Build Clear communication, professional follow-through, and support after move-in. Buying a new home should come with confidence, not uncertainty about what happens after closing. Too often, new construction looks great on day one, but feels unclear once you move in. Questions go unanswered, small issues linger, and responsibility becomes hard to track. We believe it shouldn’t work that way. At Olsen Anderson, we stay accountable after closing. Every homeowner has a dedicated point of contact, a clear process for post-close and warranty items, and a team that remains involved after you’ve moved in. Our role isn’t just to deliver a finished home, it’s to stand behind it. So You Can Move In With Peace of Mind A dedicated Experience Manager after closing Clear communication around post-close and warranty items An 11-month warranty walkthrough A builder who takes responsibility for the outcome If something isn’t right, we take responsibility and make it right.

We started Olsen Anderson in 2016. We find the block, design the homes, build them with our own crews, and stay after the keys change hands. We build homes people are proud to live in, in neighborhoods they already love. Olsen Anderson develops homes and communities that strengthen neighborhoods and enrich the everyday lives of the people who live in them. Our Story Olsen Anderson is a Seattle developer, builder, and general contractor. We started in 2016 because of a gap we kept running into: on infill sites, the developer, the builder, and the owner are usually three different companies. Drawings get handed down a chain, problems get handed back up, and the person who eventually lives there inherits whatever fell through the middle. We do all three ourselves. One team owns the home from the first site walk to the day you get the keys, which means the people who design it are the people who build it. Sincerely, Aegir Olsen & Grant Anderson Founders & Managing Partners What "done right" means The Olsen Anderson Standard is our written spec for how a home gets built: the envelope that keeps Seattle rain out, the wall assemblies that keep your neighbors' evening on their side, the roofs and decks that don't need redoing in year eight. Most of it you'll never see. That's the point. We'll show you anyway. We stay Every new home settles in its first year. Small things show up. Most builders call that your problem. We come back near your first anniversary, go through the home with you, fix what's on the list, and refresh the finishes. And we don't leave the block. We own and manage homes on the same streets we build on, which means we're neighbors, not a company that was here for a while. You build differently when you're staying. Come see one. We'd rather walk you through a home than tell you about it. Leadership Rooted in Experience and Accountability Olsen Anderson is led by a team with deep experience in residential development and construction across the Seattle region. Our leadership believes that development works best when responsibility is clear and decisions are made with long-term outcomes in mind. Aegir Olsen Founder & Managing Partner Grant Anderson Founder & Managing Partner Jerri Harden CFO David Leon Director of Acquisitions & Development How we work Every project runs the same five steps. We call it the Olsen Anderson Way. Find the block We build where people already want to live, in neighborhoods worth staying in. Design for the life We start with the person who'll live here: how they actually spend a day, what they'll wish they had in year five. Build to the standard One team, land to keys, held to a written definition of done right. Hand over the keys Orientation, final punch, delivered complete with zero outstanding items. Stay The warranty year, and then some. Ready to Take the Next Step? Whether you’re exploring a home, evaluating your land, or considering a partnership — we’re here to help.
