South of the Highway · The Hamptons

Philosophy

We connect the dots.
You build the future.

The Hamptons development market is full of opportunity, but navigating it requires deep local knowledge. Which builders deliver on time. Which architects understand the coastal planning codes. Which parcels south of the highway are actually worth the basis. That is what we know.

Ledger & Stone is a development brokerage. We match investors, landowners, and aspiring developers with the right team for their specific project: the right builder, the right architect, the right location, and the right financial structure.

Whether you want to build a spec home on a prime lot in Bridgehampton, renovate a dated estate in East Hampton Village, or structure a joint venture on an oceanfront parcel in Sagaponack, we will connect you with vetted professionals who have a track record of delivering at the highest level.

Every connection we make starts with the numbers. We evaluate the deal, assess the team, and only proceed when the economics, the location, and the execution capability all align. If it does not meet our standard, we do not make the introduction.

The developer's thesis

South of Montauk Highway, the land is finite and the demand is not. Record pricing, constrained inventory, and sustained cash purchases from Wall Street and tech wealth have created ideal conditions for high-end development. The supply of buildable oceanfront and village-adjacent parcels shrinks every year. For investors and developers who understand this market, the current cycle offers rare asymmetric upside. Ledger & Stone exists to connect the right people to the right opportunities.
