ASG Development
Real Estate Investment & Finance, Run by a Former Deal Lawyer
Most developers add a finance department once the projects get big enough to need one. ASG Development happened the other way around. Adam Gottbetter spent 30 years on the deal side as a corporate securities lawyer and then a merchant banker before he built anything. Real estate investment and finance isn’t a service he layered on top of construction. It’s where the company started, and it’s still how every project gets built.
That order matters. A development finance plan that gets written after the architecture is already locked in tends to bend around bad assumptions. At ASG, the numbers come first which is a big part of why our projects get funded, built, and finished on the terms they were underwritten on.
From land acquisition and planning to construction and completion, our Real Estate Development services provide comprehensive solutions tailored to investors, developers, and property owners

What We Handle on the Finance Side
We manage the full financial life of a real estate deal, not just the parts that happen before groundbreaking:
- Capital structuring across equity and debt
- Project financing from construction loans through permanent takeout
- Financial due diligence and underwriting
- Financial modeling and property valuation
- Transaction management from term sheet to closing
- Asset management once a project is funded and underway
In practice, that’s the difference between a signed letter of intent and a construction loan that actually funds on schedule the part of a deal where most of the real risk lives, and where ASG spends most of its time.

How We Think About Investment Strategy
Every deal gets evaluated the same way: numbers first, structure second, execution third. Before we talk about design or timeline, we build the model. what the project actually costs, what it can support in debt, where equity needs to sit, and what has to be true for the return to work. Once the math holds up, we structure the capital stack around it: the right mix of equity investment and debt financing for that specific asset, not a template pulled from the last deal.
Asset management doesn’t stop once the money is in place, either. We stay close to a project through construction and into stabilization, because a financing plan is only as good as the team still paying attention when conditions change.

Commercial Real Estate Investment Across Florida
This is the part of the business that quietly funds everything else. The same investment and finance discipline that structures a residential building like Glass House also finances the hotel developments in our hospitality portfolio. Commercial real estate investment isn’t a separate track at ASG, it’s the engine underneath both. If you’re looking at the buildings, you’re looking at the output of this side of the firm.
Who We Work With
- Landowners with a site and no clear capital plan we can structure the financing and take it from raw land to a funded project.
- Investors and family offices looking for a development partner with real construction experience behind the spreadsheet, not just in front of it.
- Lenders evaluating a sponsor who understands both sides of the closing table.
If any of that sounds like where you’re sitting, this is the right place to start the conversation.
