Our Mission

CB Development LLC was established in 2015 to invest in real estate opportunities throughout Washington, D.C, Texas, and the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. CB Development has successfully exited out of multiple condominium conversion projects, “fix and flip” opportunities, and currently maintains a portfolio of rental units. The company funds their projects through a mixture of their own cash, hard money lenders, community banks, and private accredited investors.

The company specializes in providing custom-tailored solutions for property owners and has extensive experience with title issues, intestacy laws, landlord-tenant laws, and the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA). Our sister companies include Pickl Properties (DMV/VA), Pickl TX, and District Community Development.

The company was founded by Chris Burns and Chris has been involved in over $250 million dollars of real estate transactions as a salesperson or principal since 2013 and relies upon his strong local network to identify the company’s projects. Chris is also the founder of the Burns and Noble Group of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty and a licensed private detective in the District of Columbia. In his spare time, he is an avid tennis player, enjoys collecting music and vintage nightlife ephemera, and in his former career was a renowned professional DJ and music producer.
